Why Ash Left Site Work Behind
The Bricklaying Show
Friday, 14 August 2026 - 28 minutes
After returning to site work this year, Ash has come to the conclusion that he simply can’t make it pay or work for him anymore.In this episode, Ash is joined by Bricklayer, Dale Wherton, who had a similar experience and ultimately decided to leave site work behind and move into teaching.Ash and Dale compare their experiences of working on site, explore why it can be increasingly difficult to make site work financially viable, and discuss what happens when experienced bricklayers decide there are better options elsewhere.They also look at what the future could hold for site work if more tradespeople make the same decision — and whether there’s still a sustainable future for those choosing to build their careers on site.Note from the producer: We recorded this show two days before Dale's win at Super Trowel - we will get Dale back on to tell us all about it and everyone at Fix Radio sends their congratulations to Dale!
