The new regional councils aim to support the CITB Board's strategic leadership by providing insight into industry challenges across nations, regions and sectors and acting as a sounding board for Trustees.
Seamus Keogh, CEO of Clancy Docwra, has been named as Chair of the Nation Council in England, while Robertson Group's HR Director Tony Elliott has been selected as Chair in Scotland. Leigh Hughes, Business Development & Social Value Director at Bouygues UK, will take up his role as Chair of Wales' Nation Council.

Peter Lauener, Chair of the CITB Board, said: "I'm delighted we have been able to appoint three very experienced knowledgeable and highly capable industry executives as our Nation Council Chairs. I know that Tony, Seamus and Leigh are passionate about supporting skills and training within their own firms and the wider industry.
"CITB's new Nation Councils will be a great asset to the Board, they will provide industry-led, nation-specific advice that will be invaluable as our programme of change develops.
"I look forward to working with our new Chairs to ensure we make The Future CITB Business Plan a reality and deliver a CITB that truly meets British construction's needs now, and in the future."
