- “2024 was another challenging year for the construction sector particularly for house building as the delivery of new homes fell and the impact of labour shortages and price inflation affected all contractors. The election of the Labour Government in July 2024 gave a renewed focus to construction particularly the delivery of 1.5 million new homes and the retrofit of 5 million homes over the course of the parliament.”
- “In March 2024, the FMB Board approved a new three-year strategic plan called, 'Project Growth' which will focus on promoting the membership offer and brand to grow the membership.”
