Birmingham training provider, Auctus Management Group<\/a> has secured a \u00a32m contract to deliver bespoke induction training programmes for new starters on HS2<\/h2>\n

Balfour Beatty Vinci<\/a> (BBV), HS2\u2019s construction partner for the West Midlands, has signed a five-year contract with Auctus Management Group (AMG).<\/p>\n

The contract award will see AMG deliver bespoke induction training programmes for new starters who will support the construction and delivery of the West Midlands section of HS2.<\/p>\n

When main construction works on HS2 began in September 2020, BBV confirmed that it expected to create around 7,000 skilled jobs<\/a> required to complete its section of the HS2 route.<\/p>\n

Over 2,000 businesses have won work on the project to date, including over 300 in the West Midlands, with UK-based businesses making up 97% of contracts.<\/p>\n

\u2018Plethora of opportunities for local businesses\u2019<\/h3>\n

Matthew Munn, head of supply chain management at Balfour Beatty Vinci, said: \u201cThis is a significant year for Balfour Beatty Vinci.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith many major construction milestones on the horizon, including the launch of the Long Itchington Wood tunnel boring machine, we are actively recruiting for hundreds of new roles across the West Midlands section of HS2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re delighted to welcome Actus Management Group on board, to provide safety critical training and induction programmes for our new colleagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see yet another local business benefit from the plethora of opportunities that our work on Europe\u2019s largest infrastructure project is creating.\u201d<\/p>\n

The five-year contract award from Balfour Beatty Vinci comes at a critical time as businesses across the region strive to recover from the effects of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Richard Toy, CEO at Auctus Management Group, added: \u201cWe are delighted to have been awarded this contract and to play our part in training the workforce that will bring high speed rail to the West Midlands.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis contract has enabled us to create six brand new roles within the team, provide more job certainty for existing staff during the pandemic and plan ahead for the expansion of our induction team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s ripple effect has benefitted local businesses too, as we\u2019ve brought in specialist local suppliers to refurbish our induction suite and install state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment to enhance the overall learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
