A shortage of skilled trade workers has developed as European Union migrants leave the UK and demand for home improvements rises, the founder of Homeserve has said.

Chief executive Richard Harpin said the shortages were "pretty bad" across the country, not just in construction but in other trades too.

He wants the government to put more trades on its jobs shortage list.



Mr Harpin, whose company also operates Checkatrade, told BBC Radio Four's Today programme he believed shortages were being caused by "mainly EU migrant workers going home".

He said it was "really important that we find a way to get them back" in order to cope with the "massive demand" for work.
