Richard recently took part in a roundtable with leaders from across a number of construction products industries.
Speaking afterwards, he said:
Kemi Badenoch rightly believes that we should back people who work hard, take a risk to to start a business or go that extra mile and she has placed opportunities for young people front and centre.
Many young people get their first job in construction so I was very pleased to speak to senior representatve of the construction products industries.
Lots of topics were discussed and there was a great willingness to step forward and contribute to economic growth.
My thanks to the British Plastics Federation for hosting the event and the Construction Products Association for organising it. More meetings are to come as we shape our plans for growth.
