Construction projects that will shape the future of UK communities for many generations to come are throwing open their doors for people to get an early glimpse inside.

Thousands of people will get a unique tour of their local projects under the Open Doors initiative that runs from 13th-18th June 2016.

The Willmott Dixon highlights include the iconic Design Museum in London, construction of a new home for Scarborough Football Club, a biosciences facility in central Nottingham and new 13 storey hotel in the heart of the city.

Rick Willmott:

"With the well reported skills shortage in the construction industry, it is vitally important that the vast career opportunities available in the industry are understood and promoted. From construction managers to bid coordinators, quantity surveyors and estimators, there are so many roles for a long lasting career in our industry!"
