In a letter to John Hutton, the new Secretary of State at the new Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, HBG’s chief executive Richard Gregory criticised the lack of a senior figure from the construction industry being included in the Business Council.

Gregory wrote: “While the Council is a welcome development, many in the construction industry will feel disappointed by the absence of a senior figure from our sector among the Council’s membership. I hope that you will encourage the Council to develop mechanisms for participation by all sectors of the economy.”
