Well done to Barnsley College, T3 Training & Development and my colleagues at Laing O'Rourke for reaching this point. A UK first and not a moment too soon ! This dedicated facility will provide training and skilling in Modern Methods of Construction and will prepare a generation of technicians for rewarding, productive and healthy jobs. As we know, the UK government growth mission, as set out in #invest2035 will place enormous demand on our industry. Across Department for Business and Trade and HM Revenue & Customs consultations and enquiries are currently underway seeking to understand the scale of the skills shortfall and potential solutions. This today is a brilliant example of how business and academia are investing to ensure the skills threat is turned to an opportunity. Modern, agile skills that can respond across the growth sectors and far more productively than ever before. The conclusion of the industrial strategy #invest2035 is seeking to identify the races to back and not the winners. The race to transform our industry has surely got to be the most compelling, if we want to deliver growth, health and dispersed prosperity. Schemes such as Sizewell C, New Hospital Programme, HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd and many more will provide the long term jobs for our technicians of the future.

⏰ Five Minutes With: Dan Ford In this quick-fire Q&A, our Construction Director shares his journey into the industry and what life is like at Thames & Newcastle: 💬 How it all started: Dan grew up around construction sites thanks to his father’s influence, but it was an unintentional move while at college that put him on a path into the industry… 💡 Career advice: "Yes take advice, but build your own knowledge too. Every person on site has something to teach you." 🏗 A typical day: From site supervision and monitoring project quality through to designing waterproofing, Dan’s role is varied, so there is no typical day! 🌟 Career highlight: Building 5-star condos on the beach in the Caribbean – a tough project to beat. 📈 Industry challenges: The construction skills shortage remains a significant issue. Dan highlights the need for investing in apprentices and continued training to meet the demands of the industry, especially more complex projects.

Want to get in early on the profit potential of the new 'Grey Belt' scheme...? I've just launched a brand new ONLINE training all about how to leverage the latest Permitted Development (2024) + 'Grey Belt' changes Just this year, one of my latest projects, Birch Grove—a challenging 'Grey Belt' site— become a finalist in The Construction Excellence Awards, The Net Zero Housing Awards, and The Housing Design Awards. The scheme has since won TWO categories at The British Homes Awards and TWO categories at The London Evening Standard New Homes Awards. In this course, alongside the 7 training modules, I also use Birch Grove as a detailed case study to show you exactly how I successfully secured planning permission on a site that had faced 8 refusals over 35 years before we came along. Winning consent on 'Grey Belt' sites isn’t straightforward, even with the upcoming changes. Nevertheless with a 100% track-record at planning over the last 40 years, I'm best positioned to show you exactly how to get around all of the complexities.
