FormFive
Forging links between this generation and the next
Business and education are inextricably linked – education gives the workforce of tomorrow the grounding it needs, and business can support it to do that in a variety of ways. At construction company FormFive, those vital links are at the heart of the company ethos. Describing its role as being ‘from concept to completion’,
FormFive works with developers, project management companies, architects, investors and the wider supply chain, to carry out everything from the initial viability studies through design management to construction and handover. In order to do that, and to continue to build a team
that can deliver work to the standard for which the Northamptonshire-based company
is renowned,
FormFive has forged close links with the education sector. Junior Project Manager Elin Hurlock has been assigned as the fi rm’s Education Ambassador and part of her role is to liaise with schools and colleges to provide careers talks and
advice, and to arrange work experience or placements for those looking to enter the construction business. FormFive Managing Director Matthew Abraham said:
“Having Elin as an ambassador is a commitment from this company to the education sector and bringing on the next generation of construction workers. “Elin is in close contact with a number of schools
including Moulton Secondary School and Booth Lane Campus at Northampton College, and we currently have a T Level student with us one day a week. “T ere’s no double that you learn best from watching
and listening to people who have been doing this job for years. When students work with our Site Manager, Tony Hewes, who is 78 and has been in construction for years and knows everything and everyone, what they take away from being with someone like him is something you are never going to get in a classroom. “It’s vitally important that this industry passes on all
our skills and knowledge, and construction companies need to commit to bringing students in and giving them that experience if they want the industry to progress.
