The Construction Industry Coronavirus (CICV) Forum has welcomed the new chair of the Scottish Construction Leadership Forum (CLF), Scottish Government Minister Ivan McKee.
The CICV Forum said it is looking forward to working closely with Mr McKee, the new Minister for Business, Trade, Tourism and Enterprise, who takes over the Chair from Kevin Stewart, who is now Minister for Mental Wellbeing and Social Care.
Alan Wilson, CICV Forum chair and managing director of SELECT, said: “We are keen to continue the constructive and positive dialogue which we have enjoyed so far with the CLF, and to build on the strong foundations we have established.”
The CLF was formed in 2019 by Construction Scotland and the Scottish Government to focus on the sector as a key economic driver and has been instrumental in detailing the industry’s longer-term recovery plan.
Business Minister Ivan McKee said: “Through collaboration, the CICV Forum provides valuable contributions to the work of the CLF. It has quickly become a major influence on the construction industry’s direction of travel, offering practical guidance and support at a time when it was most needed.
“I hope that support will continue as we work together on delivery of the CLF’s long-term Recovery Plan, which is showing steady progress and on the transformation which is vital for the sector.”
