The construction industry in Yorkshire and Humber is set for steady growth led by the industrial sector, according to a leading five-year forecast from the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB).

The annual Construction Skills Network (CSN) report shows that the region’s overall average construction output will increase by 0.8% between 2018 and 2022.

The report says output is projected to be just short of its 2004 peak level by 2022, meaning a total of over 10,000 new construction workers will be needed in Yorkshire and Humber over the next five years.
