Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Building materials distributor STARK UK has become a sponsor of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Future Homes, Skills and Innovation.
The APPG aims to bring Parliamentarians together with the housing and construction sectors to share insights and shape the conversation around building better and future-proofing the industry.
The sponsorship builds on STARK UK’s Let’s Get Britain Building NOW campaign, which calls on the Government to streamline planning, introduce incentives to help people buy or improve their homes, and invest in training and apprenticeships to attract and retain talent into the sector.
CEO of STARK Building Materials UK, John Carter, comments; “The building sector is the backbone of our economy – and we’re here to help in every way we can. We know what the UK’s hard-working general builders and specialist trades in our industry need to succeed. That includes skilled workers coming into the sector along with policy simplification and certainty that gives them the confidence to keep investing in and growing their business. Partnering with the APPG will help us make the sector’s voice heard at the highest levels of Government.”
