Kick-off with the FMB and the CITB in Aberdeen!
Aberdeen Football Club is the venue for a drop-in event hosted by the FMB and the CITB over Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 January. Free to attend and aimed at local construction firms, attendees will benefit from learning more about the work and services provided by both organisations.
FMB Scotland Director Gordon Nelson said “I am looking forward to meeting members and other building contractors in Aberdeen later this month. Nothing beats face-to-face conversation, so join us on either day to find out more about FMB’s services and how they can help support, protect and grow your business. We will be listening closely to what local contractors have to say about current trading conditions, skills challenges and other issues that matter to your business.
Billy Baxter and Claire Gordon from the CITB will be there to support you in diagnosing skills gaps, advising on apprenticeships, grant assistance, legislation and training, as well as signposting you to other sources of help and advice.
Billy Baxter, Customer Engagement Manager for Scotland said “It’s great to be working alongside the FMB, so local construction firms can make the most of their precious time by engaging with both organisations in Aberdeen. Gordon, Claire and I will be ready to welcome anyone, even if you can only spare 5 minutes of your time with us.”
