Association chief points to key construction role in economic recovery

摘要

Bill Bolsover has been elected chairman of the Construction Products Association. Speaking to industry leaders and government officials at the organisation's tenth annual lunch, he said that the construction industry has a crucial part to play in the country's economic recovery. Following the sharpest fall in construction output in 35 years, Bolsover said: "Although companies could simply downsize their businesses and hope government spending cuts are not as bad as we fear, this is not the attitude that over many generations has led the construction industry to create some of our most impressive buildings and most valuable infrastructure."
