“Our success and survival as an engineering region depends upon the quality and competency of a skilled and available workforce. I am honoured to be appointed Chair of West and the South West of England and I’m looking forward to working with and representing regional employers in order to direct regional activities, influence policy at board level to meet regional priorities, and report on industry skill and manning issues in general. The Levy Model enables us as an engineering construction region to train, develop and sustain engineering talent now and into the future. We can through a collaborative and collective approach increase prosperity within the engineering economy, build a sustainable future and create the leaders of tomorrow.”
