  1. Are we missing a trick? The current work done by many contractors in engaging with schools is laudable and no doubt somewhat productive. But ……. by the time contractors get to speak to Comprehensive School children the die is almost always already cast – if we want our young people to be “inspired to aspire” then we perhaps should be sowing the seeds of our great industry into primary level children. Give them a taste for the industry, from labourer to professional managers and set them on a timeline of being inspired to aspire to our great industry before the legacy of their past or family background sets them on a different path. Children need to be enthused, to be given guidelines to a rewarding career and you can’t start that process too early.
