Sunbury-on-Thames, England -- (SBWire) -- 06/18/2015 --A recent report suggests that Britain is facing its biggest skills shortage for a generation, particularly in key sectors such as plumbing and construction. There are a number of purported reasons for this shortage including a failure to train enough apprentices in key trades over the last three decades. As a result, there have been calls for the government to promote these trades and make them accessible in schools.

The report also outlined some astounding implications of this shortage, including construction companies turning down opportunities to bid for contracts due to a shortage of skilled workers. This has led to some bricklayers for instance being paid double the standard £500 a week wage, due to their scarcity in spite of their consistent demand. There could be fears of sky-rocketing construction and plumbing prices as companies compete for quality competition with lucrative rates over cheap contracts, simply because they can afford to.
