30 Second Briefing
Mark Stuart, joint managing director of Stuart Energy and a specialist in temporary power and equipment hire for construction sites, has joined waste compliance and reuse platform MukAway as a non-executive director. MukAway, which digitises waste movements and reuse documentation for infrastructure and civils projects, is positioning the appointment to support expansion into a wider contractor and plant-hire client base. For geotechnical and civil teams, this signals growing integration between site power logistics, plant fleets and compliant soil and aggregate reuse workflows.
Technical Brief
- Non-executive role gives MukAway direct access to Stuart Energy’s temporary power and plant-hire operating data.
- Stuart’s background includes large-scale generator, lighting tower and ancillary equipment deployment on major civils sites.
- Integration of hire-fleet logistics with waste-movement records enables tighter alignment of haulage, loading and tipping windows.
- Coordinated planning of power provision and muck-shift cycles can reduce idling of excavators, crushers and screens.
- Stuart’s experience with short-term, high-churn contracts suits fast-moving enabling works and remediation phases.
- Knowledge of site fuel usage and run-hours can inform carbon reporting linked to waste and reuse movements.
- For complex construction programmes, combined oversight of plant, power and waste workflows supports more robust phasing.
Our Take
MukAway already features in our database through its nationwide partnership with MV Kelly on aggregates haulage, so adding a new NED now likely signals a push to professionalise governance ahead of scaling further into major UK groundworks fleets.
With HBC Construction and volume housebuilders such as Vistry, Barratt, Bellway and Keepmoat already on the MukAway spoil-matching platform, a board-level appointment gives contractors more confidence that the software will keep pace with compliance and traceability demands on multi-site projects.
