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.[2][3]
The UK coal industry now employs less than 1,000 people directly. The Confederation of UK Coal Producers was dissolved in February 2017 according to Companies House.[4]
