The signs are good for construction and particularly in housing across Wales. Persimmon Homes Wales recently announced plans to build 450 new homes across Pembrokeshire, which will create affordable homes and houses that can be assisted by the Welsh Government's Help to Buy shared equity loan scheme. What’s more the number of planning consents UK-wide increased dramatically in the 12 months to October 2013 and Wales shows the greatest increase, up 71% (significantly more than in London and the South East). 

Whilst this is good news, it also means it is more important than ever that these projects are built correctly. In theory it should also provide significant supply chain opportunities for SMEs in the Welsh Built Environment sector. To obtain the best advice in terms of equality, diversity and a range of HR policies it makes sense to liaise with the BEST team.
