Also in attendance on the day was Assistant Site Manager, Shaune Hilton and Assistant Quantity Surveyor, Tom Shepherd. Both current students at Preston’s College, Shaune and Tom are now successfully progressing their careers at Warden which provided the perfect opportunity for first-hand vocation advice for the group. Richard added: “With Shaune and Tom sharing their career experiences on the day, we trust the site visit really does encourage the next generation to repeat their proven success.” WARDEN CONSTRUCTION INSPIRES THE FUTURE OF CONSTRUCTION Providing integrated building solutions since 1954, Warden Construction Ltd has built a reputation for consistently delivering high quality schemes across the North of the UK. Their newly constructed £4.6million integrated Salford health hub, designed to BREEAM Excellent standard, was recently showcased to 15 HNC Construction students from Preston’s College who left their classroom for the day to experience work on a live Considerate Constructors Scheme site. Richard Kenworthy, Managing Director at Warden Construction, commented “We were keen to reach out to Preston’s College to provide an opportunity for students in the North West to experience this live construction site. We also wanted to help the group develop a broader knowledge and understanding of our industry and promote the development of young aspiring leaders within construction.” Mark Taylor, Head of School Construction & the Built Environment at Preston’s College, stated “As a College we are committed to help support and grow construction in the local area and we are working with equally committed employers, such as Warden Construction, to ensure that the construction industry has a continual supply chain of work-ready learners; to help upskill and progress career ambitions within the construction industry. Mark added: “We are privileged and honoured to have worked with Warden and are thankful to them for inviting our students to gain an in-depth insight into this industry, to look at construction planning and to take a tour of the site on the day.” 24
