CREATE THE CONDITIONS FOR GROWTH: TRANSFORMING THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR TO ENABLE UK-WIDE ECONOMIC EXPANSION AND INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY
The UK Government’s ambitious economic growth plans rely on an expansion of housebuilding and the delivery of critical infrastructure across the country – while at the same time operating within restrained economic conditions limiting public sector investment. Those ambitions cannot be realised without a construction industry that is fit for purpose, innovating and investing in both the skills and the technology required to enhance productivity and provide the certainty required to enable significant private capital investment in major infrastructure schemes. Mark Reynolds, Co-Chair of the Construction Leadership Council and Chairman and CEO of Mace Group, will outline the work the CLC is delivering to enable construction firms across the UK to take advantage of the opportunities on offer, and how through collaborative work we can collective raise the ambitions of the sector and create the conditions for growth.
