We are pleased to share that Mark Poole, Learning & Competence Manager, has been appointed Chair of the ECITB Wales Regional Forum and a Council Member after approval by the Board of the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB).

Mark, who is already a member of the ECITB’s CCNSG Committee, joined the ECITB in 1998 as a Senior Development Advisor within the Product Development Team, where he developed the ECITB’s flagship Supervisory Management Training & Development (SMTD) programme. He then spent eight years within the industry-led skills body in three different roles.

At Altrad, Mark has been instrumental in advancing training and development, establishing a supervisory management development pathway and playing a leading role in the trial and implementation of the ECITB’s Work Ready Programme.

Mark commented: “I feel proud and privileged to have been elected by ECITB contractors to represent their interests in Wales. I intend to do my utmost for them.”
