“Too often in the UK we make large-scale
investments in projects that deliver short-term
results which do not benefit and include the wider
population, or the long term needs of the
country. There is no more room for lost
opportunities. Our national infrastructure projects
must go hand-in-hand with learning and training
opportunities for the workforce of the future.”
