2 Sector focus... Frazer believes strongly in meeting the individual needs of differing specialist sectors. Providing focus for these sectors is a key element of the Frazer philosophy and has ensured that our proposition matches our customers requirements. Water A strong focus for Frazer has been the development of skills to meet the changing needs of a water industry in rapid growth. Understanding what drives individual companies in striving to achieve their strategic objectives within the Asset Management Plan (AMP) process has been paramount. Developing both technical product expertise and logistic support skills has enabled Frazer to become a significant support resource to water utility companies across the UK. Road and Rail With nationwide coverage, Frazer has been able to support the development and maintenance of the UK road network, by helping contractors delivering strategic road expansion for the UK Highway Agency, and helping Local Authorities achieve repair and maintenance targets. From clay drainage to concrete kerbing, Frazer can supply the full range of items needed in this challenging sector, but with the added advantage of offering a host of useful ancillary products too. With a capability this large, it will come as no surprise that Frazer really can enable works from motorway construction to estate side roads, and everything in between. The same broad range of supply is true in all areas of transport and the build environment, with Frazer currently working hard to support the burgeoning level of investment in the nation s rail infrastructure. Working alongside key suppliers, Frazer has developed it s product range to meet the complex aspirations of the Network Rail engineers, helping to maximise the efficiency of the finance available through the Rail Strategic Business Plan (CMP4). As an Achilles LinkUp approved supplier, Frazer is well placed to support existing clients with an enhanced product and service offering.

3 ...delivering results Electricity & Power Generation The growth of activity within the power generation and electricity distribution market has led to a further addition to the Frazer sector portfolio, demanding as it does products with a very specific range of qualities. The building of new power stations (including nuclear), and the repair and maintenance of the existing distribution network are key elements in the future of Frazer business. In recent years, the need for provision of alternative sources of renewable energy, and greater efficiencies from existing supplies, has led to a marked growth in such projects. Frazer is actively involved in supporting other emerging technologies including wind farms and hydro-electric. Multi-Utility (Gas/Water/Electric/Telecom) The change in style of utility provision within housebuilding has convinced Frazer of the need to adopt a wider range of products, enabling multi-utility contractors to single-source all necessary products to complete a project. Frazer makes strenuous efforts to remain at the forefront of these important trends so that we are in a position to provide enabling works to contractors who are moving into those new sectors. One-stop shopping has been a trend that has been developing and Frazer is actively seeking new initiatives to support our contractor base. Civil Engineering & Groundwork Contractors All construction projects are different to a greater or lesser degree, but there remains a large core of products that any contractor (from the smallest local experts to regional and national groups) will need to be able to source on time, in full, error free. Our national branch network holds an extensive range of products to facilitate the successful completion of all projects. Frazer enables contractors operating in highly technical, high risk areas, such a flood defence/coastline protection, and other environmentally sensitive sector, through to house building and commercial & industrial projects.

4 Helping make groundwork... Since 1998 Frazer has been an integral part of Saint-Gobain UK, forming the expert groundworks arm of the Building Distribution group. Full access to global resources and expertise has allowed us to refine still further our professional knowledge and expertise within the groundworks products provision and support sector, and offer a service that can match the needs of both small and large contracting groups. In order to satisfy the wide-ranging requirements of these contractors (including many of the largest players in our industry), Frazer operates a comprehensive network of branch depots, strategically located throughout the country to ensure that, wherever your site is, you re never far from Frazer. We understand the need for reliable, efficient supply of products ranging from drainage and ducting, to ground stabilisation materials and complex multi-utility products; the national footprint of our branches provides the perfect platform for planned stockholding and scheduled deliveries direct to your site. Our mission is to achieve for all our customers the same level of trust and efficiency they would expect from their own staff. Building partnerships based on service, trust and expertise Through the growth and development of UK infrastructure Frazer has grown and prospered by offering a truly expert, personal service to the civil engineering and utility industry in which it works. From the very outset, our aim has been to understand what our customers need, by learning what they do, in detail. This philosophy of enabling contractors to successfully complete works is still the key to our service today, as it was in our formative years. Many within Frazer have direct hands-on experience of working in the civil engineering and utility sectors, ensuring that Frazer provide expert advice and solutions to a construction industry that is complex and varied. Providing solutions in ground preparation and stabilisation, drainage, ducting and utility infrastructure is a full time job, and one that we believe requires total focus.
