Our Head of Partnerships, Steve Cressey, is officially returning as a London Build Ambassador for 2026.

After representing the Ambassador Community in 2025, Steve has been invited back for another year, and we couldn’t be prouder to see him continuing to represent Skills People Group amongst some of the leading voices in construction and the built environment.

For anyone who knows Steve, this will come as no surprise. Building strong partnerships, bringing people together and creating opportunities across the sector is very much his territory.

He’ll be joining the London Build Expo community at ExCeL London on 25th & 26th November 2026, and we’re looking forward to seeing what this year brings.

Huge congratulations, Steve. 👏

Ask four quick questions:
✅ What does the person need to do?
✅ What responsibility will they hold?
✅ What do they already have?
✅ What is actually missing: knowledge, experience, a qualification, evidence or a refresher?

Once the role and the gap are clear, the training decision becomes much easier.

It also helps avoid booking something because it sounds right, rather than because it is the right next step.

Women have an enormous role to play in the future of construction, but outdated perceptions, unclear career pathways and barriers to training are still preventing too many from entering the industry.

According to a recent PBC Today article, 38% of surveyed women said they would go back and learn a trade if given the opportunity.

The interest is there. The talent is there. Now the opportunities must follow.

At Skills People Group and Construction Skills People, we believe practical, accessible training can help more people gain recognised qualifications, develop their confidence and take meaningful steps towards rewarding construction careers.

A stronger, more diverse workforce is not simply good for inclusion. It is essential for the future of the industry.

Let’s build an industry where talent is recognised, supported and given room to thrive. 👷‍♀️
