| 79 for busy West Coast building firm Inscope Building Services BUILDING “It seems the challenge with a lot of people I’ve talked to on the West Coast is finding good, reliable workers. You’ve got to use what you’ve got and [be willing] to train young people, that’s the way to do it.” “It seems the challenge with a lot of people I’ve talked to on the West Coast is finding good, reliable workers. “You’ve got to use what you’ve got and [be willing] to train young people, that’s the way to do it,” Rhys said. His apprentice was referred to him and “it was working really well,” he added. Rhys’ other employee is a Filipino who has a wife and two young children back home. “He’s come out here to work so he can fund their education over there.” Rhys expects he will need to get more people on board soon to cope with demand, so long as he can find someone qualified who is keen to do the work. He said there appeared to be a lack of candidates coming through, who wanted to be based in a small community - but a community that was showing signs of growth, full of amazing scenery and a wide open backyard, perfect for those who love the great outdoors. On top of that, anyone who works for Inscope Building Services will get the opportunity to try their hand at everything the building sector has to offer. “Here we do everything - gibbing, roofing, cladding, doors, windows, framing and concreting,” he said.
