The LRCTG has been set up as an independent company to compliment the other CITB funded regional training groups across the UK. In 2013 we identified that London was a missing link in the national network of training groups and that an important opportunity to support construction SME`s operating in the London area to help fill the skills gaps was being missed. A successful application was made to the CITB which resulted in the pan-London group being formed.
The group is run as a not for profit organisation and is managed on a voluntary basis by its members.
