Industry launches survey to gauge impact of Brexit

Backed by nine trade bodies, poll seeks to identify difficult-to-fill roles in a post-Brexit sector

The construction industry is launching what it claims is the largest ever survey on skills shortages in order to paint an accurate picture of where the most demand will be once the UK has left the EU next year.

The survey, which is being sent out to 20,000 companies across the UK, will ask firms to highlight which roles they are finding it difficult to recruit now and which they expect to be challenging post-Brexit.

Nine trade bodies are backing the survey, including the Federation of Master Builders, the National Federation of Builders, Build UK and its member trade groups and the Civil Engineering Contractors’ Association.
