Backing formal training for Bahamian contractors

Licensing, bonding, insurance, and health and safety are what separate a crew from a contracting business. We sponsor and promote the training that gets crews there.

Skill has never been the constraint on Bahamian construction. Paperwork is. A crew that can build anything still cannot bid public work without licensing, bonding, insurance, and a health and safety regime.

Lion's Rest Consulting supports formal contractor training and promotes registration and certification courses run by industry bodies, and we walk graduates through their first tender afterwards so the certificate turns into work.

If your association is running a course and needs a sponsor or a speaker, our team would like to hear from you.
