Immigration - does it help or hinder the industry?

The Clive Holland Show

Monday, 19 May 2025 - 32 minutes

Today we discussed Labour’s proposed immigration changes and how they could impact the UK’s trades. With tougher visa rules, extended settlement periods, and stricter English language requirements on the table, we asked whether this approach will help protect British jobs or just make the skills gap worse. We heard from Dr. David Crosthwaite, chief economist at the Building Cost Information Service and Damian Walters, CEO of the British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation, who shared their thoughts on what these changes could mean for the industry. Plus, there’s the Pub Lunch Quiz and your top messages from site - Enjoy!
