Beard meets Sir Michael
9:00am Friday 14th January 2011
Sir Michael Latham, former Chairman of CITB-Construction Skills, the Sector Skills Council and Training Board for the construction industry, shared his views on the future of construction at Beard Construction’s new Guildford offices.
The talk was the highlight of a 12 month leadership development programme for project managers and covered the development of the industry, the continuing importance of skills and training and the changes Sir Michael Latham had seen in construction since he wrote his influential government report Constructing the Team.
Beard Managing Director Mark Beard said: “As the size and complexity of our business increases staff at all levels face additional challenges and responsibilities as we strive to deliver the very best to our customers.
“To have such an industry heavyweight share his expertise and answer our staff’s questions was a true inspiration to the 14 project managers taking part in the programme.”
Beard’s leadership development programme is part of a company-wide commitment to practical training, staff development and support for industry qualifications at all levels.
The programme is designed to develop talented middle managers and emerging ‘young stars’, to equip them with the skills, confidence and knowledge required in today’s dynamic industry
