Committed to Helping You Build Inclusive and Diverse Teams
The recruitment process is an integral part of the ongoing drive for diversity in the UK built environment sector. With this in mind, we have embedded ED&I into every step of our recruitment process, and have experts on hand to help our clients to do the same.
Leading the Way in Recruitment Best Practice
Ella Razzell, our in-house ED&I Champion, is a qualified FIR Ambassador (fairness, inclusion, respect) for the construction and built environment sector.
Ella advises our consultants to create and refine ED&I processes that help our clients access the entire workforce. We work alongside you to achieve your ED&I goals, and monitor and communicate progress regularly.
We help clients improve retention by advising on creating the perfect company culture to allow underrepresented groups to thrive in your industry.
As professional members of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) we are committed to improving best practice in all aspects of our industry. We draw on REC's policies and guidelines to provide further expertise when needed.
To find out how we can support you with your hiring goals, speak to your Carrington West consultant.

Advocating Change
A strong ED&I strategy across the talent supply chain helps teams reach their full potential.
Women and ethnic minorities remain underrepresented in engineering. A 2020 report by Engineering UK revealed that while progress is being made - female engineers now make up 14.5% (up from 4.6% in 2016) - more work is needed. Just 9% of engineers are from BAME backgrounds, despite nearly 30% of engineering graduates being from these groups.
The built environment workforce must better reflect the communities it serves. That’s why we’re proud to partner with organisations driving meaningful change across the UK.
Carrington West has signed the ED&I Rail Charter, showing commitment to working together to build a more balanced and higher performing sector.
We are also corporate members of Women in Nuclear UK, joining them to increase attraction and retention of women in the nuclear sector.
