Going back to old ways is 'deluded', Keith Waller adds
Construction must stick together if it is to recover from the coronavirus crisis, according to the government's construction innovation tsar.
Speaking to ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, Keith Waller (pictured), who is heading the government-backed Construction Innovation Hub, said the industry should stay united as it attempts to recover from the downturn caused by covid-19.
Referencing the success of the industry building the NHS Nightingale hospitals, Waller said: "I really hope that people have learnt that we have achieved an awful lot as a sector by working together and collaborating and talking. And that involves government in a key role as well.
"Anyone who thinks that the right thing to do is to go back to the previous way of working and the previous delivery models and the previous approaches and thinks that somehow that's going to support a recovery and a transformation is deluding themselves. It will be undermining the hard work that's gone in."
