Adrian Belton, chief executive of CITB, said, 鈥淪teve is the first appointment into my new executive team. He will have a major role to play in driving forward a major improvement in the breadth and depth of CITB鈥檚 policy thinking and its influence on government.鈥�
Radley said the industry鈥檚 outlook was 鈥渕uch better than it had been for some time鈥�.
He added: 鈥淲ith the housing market recovering, major infrastructure projects coming on stream and new opportunities arising from climate change, new technology and new ways of working, the industry is set for sustained growth.
鈥淒eveloping a workforce with the right skills will be critical to exploiting these opportunities.鈥�
