Britain’s construction sector is in urgent need of skilled tradespeople—electricians, plumbers, bricklayers, carpenters—with a projected gap of nearly one million workers over the next decade. Salaries are competitive: apprentices start at £14k, qualified builders earn £32k, and self-employed pros can hit £74k. Some roles, like bricklaying, even pay by the brick—more work, more cash. Unlike jobs vulnerable to automation, trades offer hands-on stability and real earning power. Darren, who returned to construction after a decade in logistics, proves that learning on the job pays off—and keeps you building both literally and financially. With apprenticeships and on-the-job training available, it’s a path demanding grit but rewarding with tangible results and long-term success.
