Up to 6,000 new jobs could be created in the South West construction sector each year until 2019, the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has recently forecast.

The annual Construction Skills Network report said with growth expected to be 3.6 per cent from 2014 to 2019, a total of 6,320 new jobs each year could be generated.
