Construction Minister Michael Fallon announces team that will work with Government on the Industrial Strategy for construction.

The eighteen strong advisory council has been put together by Government Chief Construction Adviser Peter Hansford who is leading the formation of the strategy and will chair the group.
Construction Minister Michael Fallon said:

“Industrial strategy is about setting out a long term Government approach to how we support business. This will give confidence now for investment and growth.

“Construction is a sector where Government and business working together can have a real impact. It can drive productivity and growth in other parts of the economy.

“We are very clear that in order for it to deliver, the construction industrial strategy must be developed in true partnership with industry. This advisory council will be an important part of that.”

Chief Construction Adviser Peter Hansford said:

“I’m delighted that these key figures from across the construction industry have agreed to join our new Advisory Council. I look forward to working with them over the next six months to create a long-term strategy for our industry and to chart the way forward for construction in the UK.”
