RSS FeedRegional Chairs support C4G National Campaign
Construction4Growth is an industry campaign calling on Government to invest in construction as the best route out of recession and back to growth. Growth in the construction industry is now critical to the wellbeing of the UK economy. The industry lost 45,000 jobs last year and a 5% reduction in construction output this year has caused a return to recession.
Mike Johnson, Group Training Manger of Gelder Group and Chairman of the Skills for Growth Forum who is in support of the campaign said:
“The Construction4Growth campaign is important to every sector of our industry and every organisation from SMEs to major contractors. We can’t avoid the downturn but working together we can try to minimise its impact on our industry and our employees and develop the skilled workforce we will need when the upturn comes. That’s why the construction industry has rallied to launch the C4G campaign – lobbying government to increase investment, develop skills and encourage the green agenda in driving growth through construction”.
