The Federation of Master Builders is calling for licensing to be introduced for tradespeople, aiming to raise standards and protect both customers and skilled workers. But is this a much-needed step to weed out rogue traders, or just another layer of red tape for businesses already under pressure? Today, we’re asking—would a licensing system improve the industry, or would it make life harder for legitimate tradespeople? And if regulation is the answer, what’s the best way to implement it without creating unnecessary barriers?Clive asked for your views on licensing builders and talked to the FMB’s CEO, Brian Berry and builder Jack Auletta about how they think licensing would go. Plus there's also the Pub Lunch Quiz for your chance to grab yourself 6 points, and you’ll hear all the best messages that we received, Enjoy.
