The UK construction industry is fighting a significant skills drain. Over the last 5 years, 150,000 workers have left the industry due to retirement, and a quarter of current tradespeople plan to retire within the next 5 years. This means that the skills gap is only getting bigger. So Today, we wanted to know if you are thinking about retiring and if so, what your exit plan is. Do you intend to leave your business to your family or sell it? We're joined by Will Emerton, a roofer whose family business has been running for over 100 years, and Brian Denet, a third-generation painter and decorator. Plus, there's also the Pub Lunch Quiz, and you will hear the best messages and stories we received from tradespeople across the UK!Catch Clive On Fix Radio Monday - Thursday 12 PM - 3 PM Across The UK On DAB Radio And Online At https://www.fixradio.co.uk/
