The sites are taking part in Open Doors to promote the construction industry to the public by providing site tours where people can meet our teams and learn about careers in the industry.
Taking place across the week of 19 – 24 March 2018, Open Doors allows people to book slots by visiting the website here.
It is run by Build UK, the representative organisation for the national construction industry, and the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and is aimed at demystifying the construction process.
Rick Willmott, group chief executive of Willmott Dixon:
“Open Doors is a fantastic chance for people to get behind the scenes of some of the country’s most exciting construction projects. The week will showcase the amazing career opportunities available in our industry which young people are often not aware of. I would encourage everyone to book a tour and come and meet our team to learn more about construction.”
