Two weeks ago, a major milestone in the construction sector unfolded at the NEC in Birmingham: the UK Construction Week. This event stands as the largest trade show in the built environment, where industry professionals gather to discover groundbreaking innovations and engage in enlightening discussions with leaders in the field. It’s not just a networking opportunity; it’s a vibrant celebration of the construction industry and all its achievements.
This year, UK Construction Week unveiled a new stage dedicated to Net Zero and sustainability, a topic that truly resonates with us at GSS. Navigating the construction landscape can be challenging, but events like this shine a light on our industry’s progress and evolution, showcasing our commitment to a sustainable future.
The construction sector has made significant strides in fostering support through initiatives like the Construction Industry Helpline. This invaluable resource offers a safety net for construction workers and their families, available 24/7. Funded by the industry, the helpline provides emergency financial assistance to families in need, along with guidance on occupational health and mental well-being, as well as support for legal, tax, and debt management issues. With so many ways to assist, the helpline is an essential tool for those in the construction community who require support.
