WLG Ltd was pleased to support Eric Wright Group at the Salford Youth Zone Empower Event, a careers event aimed at inspiring young people and opening doors to future opportunities!

Our Senior Contracts Manager, Ben Smith, attended alongside EWG Senior Project Manager Derek Mullarkey, with whom Ben is currently working on the Laystall Street project.

With up to 200 young people aged 13–19 in attendance, the event provided a valuable platform to discuss career pathways, share real-world experience, and offer insight into opportunities within the construction industry.

As the organiser noted: “These interactions can plant seeds that change the course of a young person’s life.”

We’re proud to play a part in supporting initiatives that help inspire the next generation and strengthen our industry for the future.
