In response to 11th December’s media coverage around the selection process for the next chair of the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), Mark Noonan, Industry Relations Director at CITB, said:
“While choosing the panel to decide upon the next CITB chairman is DfE’s decision, we understand the concerns about SME representation within our governance.”
“That’s why we have committed to having SME representation on our Board, as well as greater representation on our national committees. SMEs make up the vast majority of our industry and, through our Vision 2020 reforms, we will make sure their voice is clearly heard within Future CITB.”
