Hercules Site Services opens construction skills academy to address UK labour shortage

AIM-listed labour supplier Hercules Site Services has opened a construction skills academy to train recruits for work on major British infrastructure projects.

The labour supply specialist plans to teach up to 400 students during the first year at the academy in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, approximately 15 miles from the site of the proposed HS2 high-speed railway line.

Hercules said the new school will help improve the skills shortage impacting the UK construction industry, which requires an extra 225,000 workers by 2027 to satisfy demand, according to a recent report by the CITB.

Hercules Site Services plc (LON:HERC) is a collaborative, innovative company delivering services of the highest standards within the Civil Engineering sector of the construction industry.
