How Healthy is the UK Construction Sector Today?

Webinar Overview

Some 5 years ago on the 23^rd of March 2020 the country went into the first Covid Pandemic lockdown. This lockdown saw the birth of the CE Noon webinars of which have now run nearly 400 with over 20,000 people having attended these over that period.

We believe that we should not let this go un-noticed and we are going to take a look at the crucial issue ‘How healthy is the UK Construction Sector Today?’ in our post-Covid world through the lens of stagnant productivity and a growing skills shortage. Both are major factors that the sector entered the Covid lockdown with that have not improved but have worsened over this period.

The two are inextricably linked with the result that the Construction Sector today faces significant productivity, skills shortages, and demographic challenges compared to other key sectors of the UK economy. Addressing these issues and taking ownership and action is vital if the sector is to avoid a potential existential crisis.

This webinar on the 28^th of March we want to make significant and will comprise of a Panel Discussion with representatives from across the Constructing Excellence regions of the North East, Midlands, and South West. There will be both the opportunity to participate through a Q&A session and with live Polling your views can be included into a session with the aim of finding ways to reverse the skills shortage and turn around productivity.
