Gwella Contracting to join Building Plymouth drop-in session

Construction is about more than what you see on the surface — it also relies on specialist work to make buildings safe, compliant, and ready for use. At Building Plymouth’s upcoming jobs and training drop-in, Gwella Contracting will be there to showcase the vital role their work plays in the industry.

This event gives local residents the chance to meet employers face-to-face, ask questions, and explore a variety of career options within construction and related sectors. It’s a great opportunity for anyone curious about roles that support building projects behind the scenes, particularly in areas such as asbestos removal, environmental services, and site preparation.

Gwella Contracting will be sharing insight into the day-to-day reality of working in these roles — from preparing sites for refurbishment or demolition to carrying out safety-critical tasks that ensure environments are safe for future use. Their team will also be available to explain how to get started, including training requirements, qualifications, and progression opportunities within the sector.

As construction projects continue across Plymouth and the South West, there is increasing demand for skilled workers in specialist areas.
