Chairman Sir David John presents winning graduate Emma Garner, Balfour Beatty Construction, with her Award for Innovation
A graduate conference was introduced in 2006 as part of their induction process. This offered recent graduates a greater understanding of the whole business and an opportunity to build a network of peer contacts throughout the Group.
Feedback from the conference was extremely positive and it is intended that this will become a regular feature in our calendar, along with a Chairman's Award for Innovation, which was launched in 2006.
30,467 full-time Balfour Beatty employees at the end of 2006
