Is The Future Female for the Construction Industry? -21 September 2018 With the skills shortage a pressing industry issue, many construction professionals are exploring how encouraging women, a demographic who currently only occupy 14% of construction jobs, to join the sector could potentially tackle the skills issue. Although there are various reports and statistics, all research finds that there are significantly less women working in construction than there are men, despite trade jobs being a brilliant career path for all, regardless of gender. The good news is that the number of women working within construction is increasing; according to Go Construct, 37% of new entrants that came into the industry from higher education were women, however, here at TIMco, we believe that this statistic can be higher still, and so we thought that we’d delve into the reasons why the construction industry is still considerably male dominated and what can be done to promote the sector to more women.

Our drilling and cutting accessories all deliver a cost effective solution to working with harsher materials. The Addax range includes an array of powertool accessories including: masonry drills, wood drills, metal drills, tile and glass drills, cutters, driver bits, holesaws, diamond blades, jigsaw blades, multi-tool blades, circular saw blades and wire brushes.

Deck the lawns with..... -26 March 2018 Spring has officially sprung and with the Easter break just around the corner, it also means it’s the prime time for decking installations too. ‘Decking season’ normally falls at this time of the year when the daylight draws out longer into the evening and home owners want their gardens prepped for summer. Common issues when installing decking panels with poor quality decking screws include screw heads snapping off, screws ‘camming out’ and wood splitting which can be hazardous to users and can completely ruin the aesthetic of your freshly laid decking. We can’t stress how important sourcing high quality screws specifically designed for the job at hand are. That’s why we thought we would talk you through our top five products, best suited to different types of decking and the construction of the deck.
