Henley Group was invited to talk to first-year students at the highly acclaimed London South Bank University to help educate the next generation of construction professionals on important topics such as emerging technologies, sustainable construction, and project management.
Our highly experienced Senior Project Manager Jim Wenham and Contracts Manager Josh Peach led the talk whilst showcasing some of Henley Group’s incredible projects completed over the years.
Our team passed on valuable ‘Real World’ experiences and demonstrated how Henley Group always strives to deliver projects of the highest quality and hopefully, their talk inspired those attending on why ‘doing it the right way’ is always the best way.
Shaun Henley, Henley Group Founder adds:
“The sustainability of the construction industry is everyone’s responsibility, apprentices or newly qualified individuals are not ‘cheap labour’, they form the early foundations of our most precious industries’ future.
Trades and skills must be nurtured as we help shape the life and future of every individual breaking into this industry.
We must ensure that the right level of time and attention is given to teaching the next generation of construction professionals correctly, and then one day, we will all look back with pride when we see the work being carried out, is being done the right way”
Shaun Henley, MD
Henley Group is always privileged to be able to give back and with our many years of experience, we can share insight on how to best navigate this exciting and fast-paced industry we all love.
We look forward to our next talk… our expert builders better keep practicing their public speaking!
James Bishop, Senior Lecturer in Built Environment at London South Bank University comments:
“We are always looking to enhance the delivery of our courses for the students by bringing leading industry speakers into our courses, so were very pleased to hear from Josh and Jim with their guest presentation. We have had excellent feedback from the students and hope to continue to look for collaborative opportunities to work with Henley Stone moving forward”
Also, looking back at our project archives over the years got us feeling nostalgic…
