The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) looks forward to working with the new Housing Minister to reverse the decline in small, local housebuilders.
Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the FMB, said: “The appointment of Stuart Andrew MP as the new Housing Minister comes at a crucial time for the industry. He has a mandate to deliver 300,000 homes but inherits a declining sector of SME builders to support this. I look forward to working constructively with the new Minister to deliver a much-needed boost for small, local housebuilders. This will not only help plug the gap in housing stock, but will also play a vital role in levelling up the country, as who better to enable this than small, community-centric builders.”
