The umbrella industry is full of challenges and opportunities.
Done right the perception of the industry could change for the better.
In this episode I am joined by Luke Shannon-Little, Managing Director of Bishopsgate Group and Founder of the Umbrella Leaders Association. Luke shares his journey into the industry and his specialism in the construction industry.
We delve into the different accreditations in the umbrella industry and the challenges they face in making a difference. We also talk about the lack of a regulatory body and the minimal government involvement in creating this.
Luke believes that collaboration and promoting the industry's positive aspects are key to creating change, as he has shown through his work with the Umbrella Leaders Association. He also suggests ways exploitation in the industry could be prevented.
Luke is testament to the fact there are good people in the industry creating the positive change that it needs.
