As one of the UK’s largest family owned construction companies, Ardmore is passionate about encouraging diversity at every level of the business and are known for providing training and work experience for local people in order to give projects a stronger sense of identity and ownership.

As a main contractor synonymous with London, Ardmore has delivered large-scale regeneration projects in some of the most economically deprived areas of the UK and the company’s employment and skills team are proactive in establishing links between the project and local community interest groups, councils, and schools and colleges.

These relationships give Ardmore the opportunity to engage with a substantial cross-section of the community to offer apprenticeship and training opportunities both on-site and in the office. This ultimately provides qualifications to help local people into long-term sustainable employment, offered to people who would may never have had these opportunities without Ardmore’s support.
