The Green Register’s early evening talks supported by Ecomerchant: together promoting ethical, healthy sustainable building materials.

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and offsite manufacturing are increasingly being seen as a key part of the building industry and are set to provide key opportunities to improve productivity and attract new talent to the industry.

The CITB predicts that nearly 50% of all housing in the next five years could be built using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) but less than 17% of construction SMEs have any knowledge or understanding of MMC systems. Without the sufficient upskilling of the local supply chain, traditional Construction SME’s will be at risk of falling behind.

Working together Building Growth South West, Bristol Housing Festival and MOBIE are helping to deliver Workforce for the Future on behalf of the West of England Combined Authority.

The project will support traditional construction SMEs across the West of England through fully funded MMC training – helping to bridge the skills gap and futureproof the local workforce.

During this month’s Twilight Talk, the project team will share more about the project and why it’s important and give a chance for you to ask your questions.
