Plan to equip future leaders with necessary skills

A CONSTRUCTION support group that aims to address leadership issues by connecting the current and future generation of leaders with industry experts will be launched in the North- East this month.

Leaders Connect, the brainchild of construction industry coach Dave Stitt, aims to help executives solve some issues by using a unique online service.

Enabling direct communication with a number of companies, Leaders Connect will provide expert knowledge and advice based on 170 years of construction industry experience.

The concept will give industry professionals practical and personal support and the chance to address the experts with their challenges, while developing relationships.

Mr Stitt, founder and director of Leaders Connect, said: "We hear a lot about the construction skills shortage in the industry.

However, the really big issue facing construction companies is the need for leadership skills.

"Over the past 30 years, I have worked with construction companies of all sizes. No matter what size or sector the firms operate in, the need for leadership skills is a common concern.

"We are confident that Leaders Connect will go some way to supporting those faced with the demands of responsible positions."

Tony Whelan, managing director of North-East-based construction firm Whelan, said: "I have worked with Dave Stitt closely for several years now. He has been a key player in our company development.

"I believe Leaders Connect is exactly what is needed. Through time it will prove a valuable resource for people like myself."

The scheme is being launched on Thursday, March 27, at the Gateshead Hilton. For more information and to book a place, visit leaders-connect.com
