The UK needs 266,000 extra construction workers by 2026 – the equivalent of 53,200 per year – to meet construction output.

There is no doubt that construction companies are finding it difficult to recruit, needing traditional skills. Why is this, and how are the shortages affecting the sector?

Construction companies need to hire – and train – with tomorrow in mind, says Graham Harle.
