Director General
The Confederation of UK Coal Producers (or CoalPro) was the UK trade association for coal mining companies. Full members included Banks Developments, Celtic Energy, Kier Mining, Miller Argent, Hall Construction, Hargreaves Services, and Land Engineering Services. It represented 90% of the fragmented UK coal industry after the National Coal Board was dissolved in 1987.
Status in the 2020s
The UK coal industry now employs less than 1,000 people directly. Since most of coal mining in the UK has stopped, the organization is most likely defunct itself due to the original founders having all exited the industry. As of November 2022 the website has not been operating for a while.
