Today marks Reservist Day here in the UK − a special moment to acknowledge the vital role reservists play in supporting national defence while balancing civilian careers. We thank all our colleagues who serve, past and present, for their commitment and contribution.

We value the skills, dedication and leadership veterans and reservists bring to our industry. Their integrity, teamwork and resilience reflect our values. This #ArmedForcesWeek, we proudly stand with those who serve and have served.

The fourth and final tunnel boring machine used to construct the tunnel, named Anne, broke through at Green Park Way in Greenford. TBM Anne’s journey was one of efficiency and precision, delivered safely and on schedule by our Skanska Costain STRABAG joint venture team. The twin-bore Northolt tunnel will carry high speed trains between West Ruislip and Old Oak Common. Discover more: https://bit.ly/3GbGi2y #HS2 #Rail #Tunnelling

@Katrina Dowding, Skanska UK President & CEO joined Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall this morning, at the inaugural Construction Skills Mission Board. The government and industry has committed to recruit 100,000 more construction workers per year, by the end of the Parliament. Reflecting on this Katy said, "Construction is a key driver for economic growth. Ensuring we have the right skills to support the diverse range of projects we deliver, that the industry is attractive and provides clear pathways from training to employment are key to meeting the government’s ambitions. "Delivery of new or improved roads, railways, energy networks and commercial buildings all require a stable workforce. The Construction Skills Mission Board has the opportunity to unlock significant potential as well as helping ensure that industry can invest in the right skills to deliver the 10-year Infrastructure Plan.” https://bit.ly/3GjfAov
