I became the Chairman of the Yorkshire Builders Federation in 1985, as I had been involved with federations for a number of years, at both a regional and national level. We focussed on working alongside local contractors and one of our main achievements was the formation of the Dearne Construction Training Group, which ensured that training was an integral part of the support for construction businesses in the region.
I became Chairman of the Yorkshire Builders Federation in 1990 at a time when the industry was just about to enter another recession. Our profile was therefore to focus on the support for small construction businesses within the Yorkshire region, which we undertook successfully, with many businesses benefitting from our expertise and support. We were very proactive at this time, reviewing many options for business planning and growth strategy.
I felt extremely honoured being the first President, in around 100yrs, who was not directly employed by a construction company. At the time I was Principal of Leeds College of Building, the only specialist further education construction college in the UK. During my 2 year tenure, I established, with the Board, a number of initiatives to support companies take-on apprentices and provide additional funds to support the more disadvantaged students in their studies.
