But with the Apprentice Minimum Wage rising 6% to £8 per hour from April 2026, many businesses are questioning whether taking on apprentices will remain financially viable.

A recent survey found that 1 in 7 workers believe their bosses would rather they ignore safety issues to get the job done. With an aging workforce and increasing pressure to deliver fast, we ask: are communication, risk management, and mental health support on-site up to scratch?

Joining the conversation are Sam La Roche, Health & Safety Manager at GSQ Brickwork Ltd, and Dr. Lowellyne James, HSEQ Manager at SafeSite Facilities. Together, we unpack whether on-site safety is improving or quietly slipping backwards.

What if you never picked up a spanner... never laid a single brick... never wired up a socket?...Today it's lighthearted Thursday, where we like to have a laugh, so today we asked: in your wildest dreams: what would you do if you weren’t in the trade? What if you never picked up a spanner... never laid a single brick... never wired up a socket? Where would life have taken you instead? Rock star? Professional golfer? Ice cream seller in Ibiza?

Today, we were daring you to wonder, if trade wasn’t your path, what would be?

There’s been no judgment from us, just good vibes and big imaginations! We heard great responses from across the country. Our good mates at Wickes helped someone out in need and we heard from one of our Citreon Trade Families too, so it was a busy show!

Plus, there's also the pub lunch quiz for your chance to bag yourself 6 points.

It turned out, the van with the lowest repairs costs - The Nissan NV200! With an average repair cost of £303.94 - so we wanted to investigate how much are you REALLY spending on your van?

The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Respiratory Health states that Eighty-one per cent of workers exposed to silica are employed in the construction industry. However, it is easily preventable with the right PPE, so today I wanted to know whether you’re looking after your lungs on site?

We spoke to Leigh Griffiths and Phillip Gaches to hear how you should be protecting your lungs on site and the harsh reality of the consequences!

Clive then focused on all about conserving energy and decarbonizing our nation, particularly our homes. The UK Government has made a legal commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. So should workers be trained in retrofitting and should homeowners retrofitting their homes ? Clive spoke to FMB's Scotland Director Gordon Nelson and Irish TV Builder Peter Finn.

Then Clive took a look at how vacancies in the construction industry have hit an all time high. According to the latest ONS figures, an average 49,000 jobs in the sector were unfilled between February and April. So how can we fill these vacancies? Clive spoke to Ashley Grute - Assistant Principal at HSDC College in Hampshire, Julia Stevens - CEO of Constructionarium Ltd and friend of the show Nick Bundy from NBundy Electrical.

And to finish off proceedings, he asked the question, which area in the UK produces the best Tradespeople ? Brickie Sam Whittaker represented England, Sean Matthews From SM Carpentry represented Wales and Darren Meecham from Decked Out Joinery represented Scotland.
