BPF comments on the HM Treasury's skills announcement

Following the HM Treasury's skills announcement, our Chief Executive Melanie Leech said: 

“The Government’s bold 1.5 million homes target requires every part of the industry to be firing on all cylinders, and significant investment in construction skills is a core part of this. The package announced today is welcome not only in addressing skills shortages holding back development today, but in retaining experience in the sector and inspiring young people to embark on a career in construction in the future. Great jobs that pay well are available across the industry, and this partnership between the sector and Government is an important step in delivering the workforce of tomorrow.”
