Recruiting the Future Pipeline of Talent

Open Doors enables us to tap into local talent currently in education who are considering their next steps, giving them exclusive access to our neighbourhood, our workplaces and our people.

CWG is delighted to be partnering with Open Doors again in 2026 to showcase a world of opportunity within our sector, inspire fresh perspectives and empower those who might never have pictured themselves in construction to see the possibilities and consider a future with us.

Alec Vallintine, Managing Director – Construction, Canary Wharf Group (CWG)
