The Wirral Construction Forum has just been set up to help local building contractors and companies bid and win major contracts throughout the borough.
According to the Liverpool Echo, the forum – founded by Wirral Met College, Morgan Sindall and the Wirral Chamber of Commerce – will tell firms about opportunities available locally, such as the Wirral Waters plan to regenerate some 500 acres of Birkenhead dockland.
What’s more, a supplier and apprentice showcase is due to be put on in January at the college to really help companies stay informed about the job opportunities that are present in the region at the moment and in the near future.
“We are going to establish concrete opportunities for local businesses to win work and for individuals to get high quality well-paid jobs in the borough. As a Wirralian, I am passionate about the area and take my responsibilities as chair of the forum seriously. We are very pleased with the start we have made and we are committed to drive the value of projects on the Wirral through the local supply chain,” area director of Morgan Sindall and chairman of the forum Barry Roberts said.
The Wirral Waters project, for example, will see more than 500 acres of docklands transformed into what the developers hope will be an internationally recognisable destination. More than 20,000 permanent new jobs will be created as part of what is being billed as the biggest regeneration project in the UK. The derelict docks are set to become a world-class waterfront, alive with activity on both land and water.
