In this episode of The Construction Cogs Podcast, we sit down with Rob Hammond, founder of ARSS UK Ltd, a specialist adoptable roads and sewer services company.

Rob shares his journey into the infrastructure sector and explains what it takes to run a business, covering everything from sewer connections and pumping stations to road building and deep drainage work. 

As a true family business, Rob works alongside his wife and son, and they often travel together to wherever the work takes them across the UK.

While many construction businesses have struggled with the current economic climate, Rob reveals how his company has managed to thrive and continue growing despite the challenges facing the wider industry.

Rob also sprung a surprise guest on me, which was very welcome and just the person the industry needs to listen to.

We dive deep into: 

✅ How to break into the adoptable infrastructure sector 

✅ What adoptable roads and sewer services actually involves 

✅ Managing a family business in construction 

✅ Speaking to the surprise guest

✅ Observations on the current construction retention rate

✅ Managing stress

✅ What he's found in the ground

✅ Team management 

✅ Drugs in construction

Plus, we wrap up with our signature ”Nonsense Questions” segment for some lighter moments!
