CLC hunts for new co-chair as Andy Mitchell steps down

The CLC, which is also co-chaired by construction minister Lee Rowley, is now recruiting for Mitchell’s successor.

The CLC said the main function of the co-chair is to provide it with leadership and strategic direction, and that the candidate would have to have an “excellent understanding of the industry and its challenges”, as well as being able to represent construction as a whole, from large businesses to SMEs and from design to FM.

The CLC said the new co-chair would also need to be able to represent construction on the issue of building safety and be a champion for change, inclusion and diversity, as well as understanding future trends such as sustainability and innovation.

The deadline for applications is Thursday 31 March and the new co-chair is expected to be appointed by the end of April.
