September – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Federation of Master
Builders (FMB) Wales is delighted with the Welsh Government’s decision to make
construction a priority sector. The decision comes following repeated calls by
FMB Wales for ministers to recognise that supporting the construction industry
is crucial to the future of the Welsh economy.
Richard Jenkins, Director
of FMB Wales said:
“We are extremely pleased the Welsh Government has listened to our calls to put
construction at the heart of the economic recovery. Our policy programme
‘Building for Success’ explains how construction is already at the heart of
most of the things communities value, including new homes, better transport,
schools and hospitals.”
Jenkins continued:
“We have also said investment
in construction offers good value for money, but more needs to be done to
increase the value of construction spend. We look forward to working with the
Minister and the new advisory panel to develop solutions that are innovative
and fair to SMEs in order to get Wales building.”
