The Forum

About the event

Situated in the heart Gloucester city centre, The Forum will provide state-of-the-art amenities for emerging and established digital and cyber tech security businesses, including 135,000 sq ft of workspace, conference facilities, a 4-star hotel, rooftop restaurant and bar, cafes and a wellness centre. The scheme will be rated BREEAM Excellent and will use air-sourced heat pumps and a ‘blue’ roof for water attenuation.

As part of its commitment to delivering lasting legacies in areas in which it works, Kier will be providing employment and training opportunities to local residents through a unique learning hub, which will combine in-person and virtual training. The hub will use the construction of The Forum as a ‘real life’ case study to showcase a range of careers and inspire and train people to be work-ready through a number of workshops that also cover life skills. It will also provide an introduction to opportunities within the supply chain through work experience.
