Northamptonshire Construction Training Group (NCTG) is a non-profit making organisation funded by CITB. It has been organising construction training for its Members for over 20 years. There are over 50 similar groups covering the UK.
Our aim is to encourage and facilitate training within the county in order to promote health and safety best practice and lower accidents and injuries, whilst reducing the cost of training for employers.
The NCTG board is made up of two annually elected members, and supported by a Group Training Manager:

Ian Dickerson (Group Chair)
Ian has chaired NCTG for over 25 years. He has worked in the construction industry all of his life. He currently runs a consultancy business supporting employers to access funding and manages the training of a local employer. Ian has sat on most of the CITB industry committees, as well as industry federations, such as Build UK and CECA, helping to develop the support for the sector through skills and funding.


Sean Suddards (Group Treasurer)
Sean has been involved with NCTG since its creation and Treasurer for over 15 years.
Before retirement, Sean was a Business Development Manager for Kier.
Natalie Smith (Group Training Manager)
