The FMB welcomed the appointment of Nigel Griffiths as Construction Minister and highlighted three policy areas where rapid progress will be key.
Twenty-year-old Mark, from Glasgow, has been carving out the career of an exceptional apprentice carpenter from an early age and now works full-time at City Building (Glasgow), who had no hesitation in taking him on at the end of his apprenticeship.
Grahame Barn, Director of FMB Scotland said, "We are delighted that both Robert Brown MSP and Sandra White MSP have lodged motions in the Scottish Parliament congratulating Mark".
"Compared to the UK as a whole, Scotland has a very good record when it comes to training with 45% of all UK construction apprentices trained by Scottish companies".
"FMB Scotland's 655 member companies employ over 800 apprentices".
"We hope that the Scottish Parliament will continue to recognise the good work of organisations such as the FMB in encouraging construction firms to take on and support apprentices.".
