BVI, 8 June 2018 - Heavy equipment operators and contractors will benefit from a free construction industry workshop next week.
Director of Trade, Investment Promotion and Consumer Affairs, Mrs. Karia Christopher said the department has taken notice of an increase in the number of businesses in this specific sector and as part of its building capacity initiative, has found it imperative to strengthen the industry through effective core competencies for managing their businesses.

Participants will learn how to provide excellent customer service; how to deal with customer queries; liabilities that come along with the sector; significance of being a legal and operating company; how to run a successful construction firm; and tips on quantity surveying and expectations when hired to do a job.
