Is there an opportunity for qualified professionals? |
 There are currently around 30 million households in the UK and this number grows daily. At some time, it is certain that every household will need an Electrician and a Plumber. Even though new home builds have slowed in the current economy, every day millions of existing homes still need extensions, rewiring or a host of other electrical work; Central Heating systems need to be installed, circulating pumps need to be replaced, boilers need to be serviced or replaced, burst pipes need to be repaired etc. etc. etc. There are government targets in place to build 3 million homes by the year 2020. If anything this target is too  small considering that the UK population recently reached 60 million and a government study predicts that organic population growth coupled with anticipated entrants from the steadily expanding European Union could see our population grow to over 70 million within the next 20 years. Add to this the ongoing concerns over the lack of social affordable housing and it is easy to see why these new build targets will have to increase. Whatever the state of the global or local economy, it is clear that the UK continues to be desperately short of housing. Make sure that when building starts again in earnest, you are already qualified to be a part of the boom. Is there an opportunity? You decide.... |
