Construction is Losing a Generation: Why is it so hard to find Work? | Steve Gearing

Episode #085 | Steve Gearing

Today construction recruiter Steve Gearing joins us for a brutally honest conversation about the issues holding the UK construction industry back.

From the apprenticeship crisis and recruitment struggles to mental health, leadership, and why so many good ideas never make it beyond the boardroom.

Steve also opens up about living with a vestibular disorder and the role sport & exercise has played in his life.
