Welcome to our third Jewson Trade Trends report, which explores the experiences and views of the UK’s professional tradespeople on the issues that impact them most, every day.
Jewson spoke with more than 500 builders and tradespeople in the UK building and construction industry about:
Managing business day-to-day, including the economic landscape, workload and tool theft
The industry’s skills shortage
Sustainability in the built environment
Business concerns: Cost of materials, cashflow and tool theft are among the top worries for small to medium builders and skilled tradespeople
Skills gap: More than half of builders and tradespeople think the skills gap is likely to get worse
Sustainability: Builders and tradespeople that offer sustainable building services are winning more work, three in five are starting or continuing sustainability training, and more are seeing homeowners asking about energy efficient building solutions
The Jewson Trade Trends Report brings to life these and many more insights from across the industry, along with advice and guidance on how to tackle some of the daily business challenges builders and tradespeople face.
