ONE of the region’s largest housebuilders is launching a new campaign to encourage more people into the sector.
Barratt Developments Yorkshire East, which includes the Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes brands and is currently developing The Chocolate Works in York, is launching the Constructing Futures campaign this month, in an aim to bridge the skills gap and encourage more people to consider working in the housebuilding industry.
Its construction director, Steve Mattinson, pictured, said: “Children leaving school and college are unaware of the opportunities available to them, but existing construction firms also don’t realise the sheer potential open to them in the housebuilding industry.”
