Temporary insolvency protection legislation introduced during pandemic now removed.
3,850 construction insolvencies in GT Britain in last 12 months.
Construction now accounting for 20% of GB insolvencies yet is probably only 8-9 % of GDP.
Cost of borrowing continues to climb - 6 interest rate rises in 8 months and more to come.
Energy price rises off the scale and no sign yet of any relief for small businesses.
Ukraine war driving most of energy price hike unlikely to end any time soon.
Global materials supply / availability issues continuing.
Labour remains in short supply with no obvious easing in sight.
