SITMA – Competence Creates Confidence

7 June at 09:20 00:10 mins 09:20
We are all aware that competence is variable in the construction industry and we are all aware that the competence needs to be improved. Having competence creates the confidence the public lacks in the construction industry. What can we do, and what is being done to improve the competence, and therefore the confidence of our trade? Group Managing Director Barry Cope discusses how SITMA is doing their part, using a combination of IT and stern certification rules to clean up its 1%.
