Our CEO @BrianBerryFMB told Mike Graham (@iromg) at @TalkTV that achieving Government housing targets will be a "mammoth challenge" and the Government's 2-billion-pound announcement for social housing today is a mere drop in the ocean.

The Government’s new training programme to get more young people into the building trades is welcome news - it needs to be part of a wider shift to ensure vocational
training has parity with higher education @fmbuilders @CITB_UK
