Building & Construction (Wednesday & Friday)

Building & Construction

Wednesday & Friday


London is an epicentre for construction and regeneration. Output is expected to grow in the capital at an annual average rate of 2% between 2010 and 2014, a little higher than the UK
average of 1.7%.

The London 2012 Olympics has seen an increase of 8.4% in construction employment. It is estimated that a further 182,000 new workers will be needed for other building and construction projects that will be generated from the Olympics.

In order to achieve this level of building and regeneration, London requires a workforce of skilled building professionals and this is reflected in the fact that there are over half a million adults who have an ONC/OND/City & Guilds or have completed a trade apprenticeship in London alone.

In short, London acts as a magnet for those who currently work or wish to work in the building & construction industry and provides employers with a huge pool of talent from which to recruit.
