FORMATION DESIGN & BUILD LIMITED were honoured to attend the Tower Hamlets Partnership event, held in the stunning Town Hall in Whitechapel last week.

The event featured a variety of inspiring speakers, including Mayor Rahman and the Junior Mayor of Tower Hamlets, who shared the positive changes achieved in the borough over the past decade. We are proud to have contributed to these developments through our work in the community.

While building in Tower Hamlets, we have created numerous opportunities for local residents, offering roles that range from labouring to civil engineering. One notable achievement was upskilling a local resident, enabling him to qualify as a cladder. He worked with us on the site we completed at Heylyn Square in Bow.

That project also provided various job opportunities and educational initiatives. For instance, we collaborated with a local school in Whitechapel, where students spent five days learning about apprenticeships and career opportunities within the construction industry. Additionally, we employed an apprentice engineer studying at Chelmsford University, who gained valuable experience on our sites and has since moved on to other significant developments.

More recently, we welcomed an intern from University of East London to our team. Ashwin Dhanabalan has joined us at our Bancroft and Wickford sites to learn about site management, boost his confidence, and expand his knowledge of construction management. We are committed to supporting him throughout this placement and helping him prepare for his next opportunity.

Special thank you to Sharon Paisley at East London University for collaborating with us to facilitate this placement. We look forward to continuing to invest in the local community and future talent.
