WHAT IS TALKING TRADE?

Talking Trade brings to the surface the issues affecting the boots on the ground right now.

We’ve covered everything from supply chain issues to mental health to net zero and sustainability. We take these topics and then invite experts and tradespeople from across the industry to help us explore them further.

No matter your trade specialism – roofer, labourer, electrician, plumber, apprentice – we want to hear from you all.

Talking Trade is for everyone’s opinion – because connecting construction is what On The Tools is all about.
