Balfour Beatty has shared its plans to encourage more women into the trade occupations needed to deliver the Lower Thames Crossing.

Speaking at a careers event at Thurrock College in Essex, Balfour’s skills, education and employment lead, Charlotte Condon, discussed the contractor’s commitment to engaging with local communities.
