Date confirmed as 黑洞社区 a Better Brexit campaign steps up
Prime minister Theresa May will trigger Article 50 starting the two-year process for Brexit next Wednesday (29 March).
The UK鈥檚 permanent representative to the EU, Sir Tim Barrow, notified Brussels this morning that a letter should be expected on that date.
The news comes .
Industry big-hitters including Mace, Gleeds, KPMG and Arcadis have pledged their support, after 黑洞社区 published a manifesto of eight demands of government - and three industry pledges for self-improvement.
The demands cover a range of key areas of concern, including skills, material costs, pipelines and procurement, while the pledges take in better training, improving the sector鈥檚 image and greater use of technology.
黑洞社区鈥檚 survey of over 2,000 construction professionals, published last month, as well as subsequent research interviews with a range of professionals across the industry, informed the manifesto.
We are calling on companies and professionals to register their support as we step up our campaign for a fair deal for the sector.
Other initial backers include former RIBA president and EMEA managing director of architect Perkins+Will, Jack Pringle, and Mark Farmer, founding director of consultant Cast and author of the government-commissioned report on the sector, Modernise or Die.
The more supporters we have, the greater influence we can wield with the government.
