Todaysโ historic result must draw a line under years of crippling uncertainty that has been so toxic for UK construction, says the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) in response to the General Election result.
Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the FMB, said: โThe new Conservative Government has a golden opportunity to sort out Brexit and set out its new vision for the UK. Building the homes andย infrastructure that this country needs has to be a key priority to help driveย the economy forward.โ
Berry concluded: โThe Government needs to back the nationโs army of small builders, by delivering on the promised ยฃ3bn National Skills Fund, investing in quality through a licensing scheme for the whole UK construction industry, and supporting local builders to retrofit the millions ofย homes that need to be upgraded to low carbon.โ
