The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has made three new appointments to its board.
The trio are: Kevin McLouglin, Robert Williams and Steve Fox.
McLoughlin is the founder and managing director of London-based SME K&M McLoughlin Decorating, Williams is the founder and chairman of Welsh SME WRW Construction and Steve Fox is chief executive of Bam Nuttall.
The appointments were made by skills minister Anne Milton.
CITB board trustees are responsible for the governance, strategic direction and monitoring of business performance.
The board is expected to play a key role in delivering CITB’s Vision 2020, which will make the organisation more accountable, representative and responsive to industry’s needs.
Peter Lauener, chair of the CITB board, said: "To deliver Vision 2020 we need a Board that represents employers of all sizes. That’s why I’m delighted we have appointed three hugely talented people from both SME and large contractor backgrounds. All three are vastly experienced, and passionate about supporting skills and training, with each playing a pivotal role in delivering apprenticeships within their own firms.
"Reform is gathering pace at CITB and Kevin, Robert and Steve will have a crucial role in shaping the future of the organisation. I look forward to working with them to ensure we make Vision 2020 a reality and deliver a CITB that truly meets British construction’s needs now and in the future."
