The new trustees will help steer the ECITB and hold the executive team to account for the delivery of the organisation’s strategy to grow the engineering construction industry skills base.
Commenting on the new board members, Armstrong said: “I am delighted to welcome such a high-calibre group of professionals to the ECITB board.
“The new members are industry figures and together represent the wide range of sectors and regions in which the ECI [engineering construction industry] operates. They bring to the board a real breadth of expertise and knowledge of the engineering construction industry.”
Armstrong added: “Our six new trustees bring new perspectives and complement the diversity of talent already represented. I am in no doubt that these appointments will greatly benefit the ECITB in helping deliver the aims from our Leading Industry Learning Strategy 2023-25.”
