Tower Hamlets Construction Forum

The Construction Forum was brought together by East End Community Foundation in early 2016 following a consultation with local residents from across the East End about issues in their local community, known as Vital Signs, in which the social themes work and housing were identified as key concerns. The Construction Forum is a collective of developers, local housing associations and construction education providers who meet quarterly to discuss the sector, share best practice ideas and identify solutions to the skills gap in the market.

The forum seeks to challenge that image and reveal the huge variety of jobs available in the sector, from Technical, Trade and Business Apprenticeships to working as a Community Liaison Officer.

Forum members include Balfour Beatty, Ballymore, Canary Wharf Group, CITB, ECF, Higgins, Land Securities, Poplar HARCA, Sir Robert McAlpine, Swan Housing, New City College, Tower Hamlets Council, Tolent Construction, Wilmott Dixon.
