Another successful Armed Forces BuildForce Insight Day hosted by Laing O’Rourke at their Dartford HQ.
The day commenced with Pru Ashby‘s insightful networking masterclass, prepping our candidates for their afternoon engagement with our employers.
Then onto our fireside chat led by BuildForce Chief Exec Angela Forbes MBE joined with Laing O’Rourke’s MD Peter Lyons, Director Paul McNerney (MRICS), and ex-RE Defence and Security Sector lead Adam Birley MBE – an honest, heartfelt chat which exemplified Laing O’Rourke’s outstanding ethos, culture and commitment to our ex-military community. Caroline Logan BuildForce Programme Director led an excellent motivational and inspirational tips-for-success session.
The event progressed onto our exceptional employer symposium, uniting the ex-military community and industry to delve deeper into the sector and explore potential UK-wide opportunities. Veterans led our discipline career chats focussing on project management, health & safety, and logistics, providing first hand insights into life beyond the military.
A special thanks to Laing O’Rourke Christopher Brown, Adam Birley MBE, Dave Meacock and Steve Ball for hosting the event, the wider BuildForce team, our supportive employers, but, most importantly, our incredible military magic who made the day truly impactful.
