The Prince's Trust Built Environment Leadership Group (BELG) has selected Adrian Ringrose as its new Chairman.
Mr Ringrose, who is currently Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Interserve, will take over from current chairman James Wates CBE in March 2017.
He said: "It is a win-win situation for the industry: while we are doing our bit to help young people, we are also addressing a worrying skills shortage which is affecting our businesses.
"My aim, as chairman, will be to encourage companies to invest in Prince’s Trust programmes, offer tangible outcomes, work placements and volunteering opportunities. I hope to see The Trust's reputation grow as a partner of choice for the industry."
The BELG is a collaboration of corporate partners which has changed the lives of over 6,000 young people since 2005, helping them find work in one of the built environment sectors, particularly in construction and facilities management.
The Trust is aiming to provide training and career opportunities to 10,000 young people over the next three years in the built environment industry and the BELG will support this ambition by helping generate new partners and income.
