National Centre for Diversity partners with the UK’s leading Construction event!

The National Centre for Diversity is pleased to announce that they are an event partner with London Build 2016, which is being held at Olympia, London on the 26^th-27^th October 2016.

Solat Chaudhry, Chief Executive at the National Centre for Diversity will be joining two other expert panellists from Balfour Beatty and Thames Tideway Tunnel in a panel discussion titled ‘Building a Sustainable Bridge for the Skills Gap’.

The discussion will take place in the main conference room at 3:15 pm on the 26^th October 2016. As an expert in equality, diversity and inclusion, Mr Chaudhry will be focusing on how organisations can continue to unlock talent through employee diversity and equality programmes across the Construction industry.

London Build 2016, officially supported by the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is the leading and largest annual construction and design event to focus exclusively on London and the South East.

The National Centre for Diversity will also have an exhibition stand located in the Skills Hub section throughout the event. The National Centre for Diversity has worked with several large and small Construction and Engineering organisations, including NG Bailey, Interserve, Vinci Construction UK, Cruden Group and Carillion PLC.

Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are high priority topics within the Construction, Engineering and Housing industries, with government agencies such as Highways England and HS2 identifying a variety of requirements for organisations looking to submit bids for contracts; including the need for organisations to show evidence of not only having good EDI policies and practices, but they must also show a commitment to their continued improvement around EDI.

Mr Chaudhry comments that “the Construction sector is going through an exciting phase, where it sees EDI as core disciplines. We are happy to be helping to shape how the sector works in relation to EDI.”
