Listed in the “Regeneration Consultancy of the Year” category, the submission focused on one of FSquared’s major projects, The East London Line Extension. This is a £1 billion scheme that impacts upon some of the most diverse and deprived boroughs in the UK.
FSquared is supporting long standing clients Balfour Beatty and Carillion to meet ambitious, aspirational and groundbreaking contract terms around equality, diversity & inclusion. Working with and alongside the diverse communities of East London, FSquared plays an integral role in meeting and exceeding the procurer aspirations.
Val Chinn, Managing Director of FSquared said: “FSquared has worked hard alongside our clients to develop new standards for how major infrastructure schemes can deliver benefits to communities within this particular area and also in other areas of the UK.”
“The standards we are setting now are helping to ensure that future schemes will have to match or exceed the benchmark we have set. We are obviously delighted to be acknowledged for our continuous hard work and making the short list for the 2009 Regeneration & Renewal Awards is something we are extremely proud of”.
The Awards Presentation will take place on Wednesday 23rd September at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London.
