Representative body formed for construction sector

A new representative body is being formed to help drive forward the Manx construction sector.

Construction Isle of Man is a public-private partnership which combines three key organisations within the industry to drive economic growth, improve safety and quality standards as well as develop environmental strategies.

It's made up of the Construction Forum, Construction Federation and Chamber of Commerce Construction Sector which have been working together informally for the last three years.

The deal - which has been supported by Business IOM - is also aimed at combining the groups into a single point of contact for those in the industry and the public.
