Skills shortage in UK construction industry is 'serious'
The UK's construction industry is under threat from a severe skills shortage, it has been claimed.
According to Brian Berry, director of external affairs for the Federation of Master Builders (FMB)
Mr Berry added that the UK hadn't seen such a high level of building activity "since the end of the Second World War".
He commented: "There is a serious skills shortage and that is why migrant workers are important in filling the gap.
"We need 87,500 new people to go into the construction sector every year from now until 2011 to meet current demands.
"Britain is experiencing the highest level of building activity it has seen since the end of the Second World War."
