The Scottish Decorators’ Federation (SDF) met with CITB’s interim chief executive to provide input on how to improve the industry.

The private meeting between SDF’s CEO Ian Rogers and William Burton (pictured), which lasted almost two hours, took place ahead of an intimate dinner for industry leaders hosted by Mr Burton at the Glasgow Marriott Hotel on Tuesday, August 6th.

William Burton took over as an interim Chief Executive of CITB, the Industry Training Board responsible for the UK construction industry, in May 2013.

Ian Rogers said:

“We appreciate William’s generosity with his time. He was enthusiastic and open to having a full and frank discussion about the key matters facing the industry, including our card certification scheme SCORE (Scottish Construction Operatives Registration Executive) and the operations and governance of CITB as a whole.”
