Supporting Build Torbay

Helping Shape the Future of Local Construction

At Datel Electrical, being part of the local community is just as important to us as the work we carry out each day. That is why we are proud to be involved with Build Torbay and to have a seat on the steering group representing local subcontractors and trades.

This is an exciting initiative focused on strengthening the construction industry across the Torbay area and creating opportunities for businesses, apprentices and the next generation of skilled workers.

What is Build Torbay?

Build Torbay is a forward thinking programme designed to support growth in the local construction sector. It brings together businesses, local authorities, training providers and industry professionals to help shape future projects, develop skills and support sustainable development across the region.

The aim is to create stronger connections between companies, encourage local investment and ensure that work opportunities benefit the community.

Representing Local Trades

Being part of the steering group gives us the opportunity to represent the voice of subcontractors and smaller local businesses. These are the people who are out on site every day, delivering the work that keeps projects moving.

By sharing real world experience and feedback, we can help influence decisions that support better working relationships, improved communication and more opportunities for local companies to be involved in upcoming developments.

It also helps highlight the importance of quality workmanship, training and long term partnerships across the industry.

Supporting Skills and Apprenticeships

One of the most important parts of Build Torbay is its focus on developing skills and supporting young people into construction careers. As a business that works closely with apprentices and local colleges, this is something we are passionate about.

Strong local training routes help create confident, capable tradespeople who will support the industry for years to come. Being part of this conversation means we can help shape a positive future for both businesses and those starting their careers.

Working Together for the Community

Construction plays a huge role in shaping the places where we live and work. From housing developments to commercial spaces and community projects, the industry has a direct impact on local life.

By being involved in Build Torbay, we are helping support a more connected, collaborative and forward thinking approach to development. It is about working together, supporting local companies and making sure the benefits stay within the community.

We are proud to play our part and look forward to continuing to support the initiative as it grows. You can find out more on the Build Torbay LinkedIn page here.
