What an incredible kick-off event for our skills growth initiative in Collyhurst! This marks the beginning of an exciting journey to provide hands-on, practical training that will empower local residents with the skills they need for successful careers in construction. We're proud to be driving this initiative forward and look forward to the positive impact it will have on the Collyhurst community and Greater Manchester as a whole.
