Construction Industry

Answer

The construction industry is one of the most important sectors of our economy. It accounts for 8.3 per cent. of UK gross domestic product and employs 2.1 million people. I am impressed by the improved integrated teamwork shown by the industry, which has been given a tremendous opportunity to showcase its strengths in the build up to the 2012 Olympics.
