Carillion

“Carillion were appointment to work on the construction of the new Library of Birmingham. When it came to looking at our requirements for local employment and training, we expected to spend the first six months finding our feet and understanding local contacts and who did what.

Thankfully, this was not the case in the end – Birmingham City Council’s Employment Access Team provided an established and proven conduit to all of the local stakeholders and the local workforce, which allowed us to hit the ground running.

The Employment Access Team is both unique and vital to the success of the local employment challenge on the Library – and I in no way underestimate the impact of the Employment Access Team. Their dedication, skills and enthusiasm has made a massive difference to the Project and I am sure we will be able to achieve our employment targets for the Library with continuing support from them.” Operations Director, Carillion National Building
