CITB\u2019s<\/a> chief executive Sarah Beale has handed in her resignation and will be leaving the organisation in September 2021<\/h2>\n

Sarah Beale has served as CEO since January 2017,\u00a0having previously\u00a0held a range of senior leadership positions over the past\u00a016 years.<\/p>\n

Beale, CITB\u2019s first female CEO, led the training body through a major, transformation programme<\/a>, Vision 2020. It saw CITB shift from direct provision of a range of commercial services towards delivering strategic outcomes for the whole construction industry.<\/p>\n

She played a pivotal role in protecting hundreds of apprentices who had lost their jobs due to the collapse of Carillion<\/a> in January 2018.<\/p>\n

More recently, Beale led the CITB\u2019s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, making a series of difficult decisions which have been welcomed by industry \u2013 protecting apprenticeships and\u00a0prioritising\u00a0direct funding for employers, while helping businesses\u2019 cash flow by agreeing an unprecedented \u2018Levy holiday\u2019.<\/p>\n

During her tenure, she has promoted the value and importance of diversity and inclusivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Serving industry\u2019s skills needs with dedication\u2019<\/h3>\n

Peter Lauener, chair of CITB, said: \u201cSarah has been a\u00a0superb\u00a0chief executive\u00a0for CITB,\u00a0serving industry\u2019s skills needs with dedication, and making us a stronger and more effective\u00a0organisation in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to Sarah\u2019s work, and that of her senior team, the board and I can remain confident in\u00a0CITB\u2019s\u00a0commitment and ability to deliver\u00a0the new\u00a0strategic plan<\/a> and to achieve industry endorsement of our approach in the consensus\u00a0process we expect to run next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish Sarah well for the future\u00a0\u2013 whatever she does, we know she will bring\u00a0the\u00a0unique mix of energy, enthusiasm and expertise to bear which makes her such an effective leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah Beale commented: \u201cIt\u2019s been an honour to lead CITB. A part of me will always stay in this great organisation, which is full of brilliant people making a real difference to people\u2019s lives and careers, as well as supporting construction employers across Great Britain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of the work we have done together, and our record of delivery. It will be tough to leave after 16 fantastic years, but right now I\u2019m focused on delivering our Skills Stability Plan<\/a>, including seeing through internal changes and setting up CITB to deliver beyond that, before taking a breather and identifying a new career challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to ensure delivery of CITB\u2019s current plans, provide leadership and stability through these challenging times and make sure that the organisation is in the strongest possible position to move forward, Sarah will be staying on until September 2021.<\/p>\n
