Eco Buildings Appoints Former Construction Minister Dr Nigel Griffiths as Strategic Adviser on Ministerial Engagement

Eco Buildings, a UK-listed modular construction company specialising in sustainable GFRG-based building systems, is pleased to announce that Dr Nigel Griffiths, Chairman of Ecofill Group Limited and former UK Construction Minister and Member of Parliament for Edinburgh South, is now advising the Company on ministerial engagement and public policy as it prepares for significant international expansion; and in particular heightened interest in the UK as a result of the significant progress globally.

Dr Griffiths' advisory support comes at a time when Eco Buildings Plc is entering new markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, working with governments, developers, and institutional partners to implement high-performance, sustainable construction solutions.

As former Construction Minister, Dr Griffiths oversaw UK housing, infrastructure, and energy efficiency initiatives, launching several flagship programmes that linked sustainable policy goals with private-sector innovation. In his subsequent business career, including as Chairman of Ecofill, he has championed greener construction practices and low-impact materials development for the UK market.

At Eco Buildings, Dr Griffiths will provide strategic advice on public policy engagement, government liaison services, and stakeholder relations, supporting the Company's wider commitment to improving transparency in working with public bodies and international funders. His perspective will help ensure Eco Buildings maintains its strong alignment with evolving sustainability, safety, and performance standards across territories.

Dr Griffiths commented:

"Eco Buildings is exactly the kind sort of manufacturing innovation Britain should be proud to support and export. Its technology delivers durable, energy-efficient buildings quickly and most important of all, affordably - aligning perfectly with the accelerating national and international need for affordable housing, and sustainability jobs creation and lower carbon footprint industries. I'm delighted to advise the company as it engages with policymakers and developers seeking practical paths towards net-zero construction to serve the growing housing crisis."

Dr Etrur Albani, Executive Vice-Chairman of Eco Buildings Plc, said:

Dr Griffiths brings unparalleled experience at the interface of government, innovation, and sustainable construction. His understanding of how policy, technology, and project delivery must align in order to maximise market impact will doubtless prove invaluable as we scale globally. We're proud to have his counsel as Eco Buildings advances its mission to make sustainable construction universally viable."

Disruptive Innovation in Sustainable Building

Eco Buildings is pioneering a new generation of sustainable, robust, and fully certified building systems that can be delivered at half the material cost and half the human labour requirement of traditional construction methods. Its modular technology combines strength, environmental performance, and rapid deployment, providing a scalable solution to the global challenges of housing, infrastructure, and sustainability.

Eco Buildings' modular panel technology has been independently tested and certified to global standards. The system offers superior insulation and acoustic qualities, while significantly reducing embodied carbon compared to traditional materials.

The Company's innovation addresses two of construction's most entrenched challenges: cost and labour. By reducing both material usage and on-site installation time, Eco Buildings makes sustainability economically accessible, especially in regions with acute housing and infrastructure demands.

With the construction sector responsible for nearly 40% of global emissions, Eco Buildings defines its mission in clear terms: to replace conventional, carbon-intensive building methods with a proven, efficient, and accessible alternative. The Company's partnerships with public and private stakeholders aim to accelerate low-carbon construction and ensure widespread adoption of new materials technologies.

Dr Griffiths' advisory role reinforces Eco Buildings Plc's position as a UK innovation leader driving change in the global building sector, where economic resilience, environmental responsibility, and technical excellence must now go hand in hand.
