Commenting on the con- struction output figures for November 2018, published by the Office for National Statistics, Sarah McMona- gle, Director of External Affairs at the FMB, said: “The UK construction sector grew by 2.1 per cent during September to November 2018 compared with the previous three months. This is despite unparalleled levels of po- litical uncertainty around the very real prospect of a ‘no deal’ scenario. How- ever, we are urging the Government not to allow these results to create a false sense of security. Since November, political uncertainty has cranked up and is increasing every day. A growing and pros- perous construction sector will be a distant memory if the Government allows the UK to crash out of the EU without a deal in place.” www.fmb.org.uk Winkhaus UK promotes Mike Rushen to Sales Director Hardware specialist Winkhaus has announced the promotion of their Na- tional Sales Manager Mike Rushen to Sales Director with effect from January 1st 2019.
