CONSTRUCTION NEWS & ECONOMY It’s not just large companies that are benefitting. To date, 58 per cent of businesses in the project’s supply chain that have been monitored by Crossrail are small and medium sized businesses (SMEs). Business to still be awarded Crossrail is also urging businesses around the UK to seize the opportunities that the project has to offer. The majority of contracts throughout the supply chain are yet to be awarded as the project’s main contractors still need to buy a wide range of goods, works and services from companies of all sizes. Andrew Wolstenholme, Crossrail Chief Executive said: “Crossrail is proving to be a much needed boost for a range of industries, creating and safeguarding jobs and providing tens of thousands of opportunities for UK businesses. “Crossrail will not just benefit London and the southeast - the project’s economic benefits are being felt well beyond the confines of the M25. Firms right across the UK are winning business on the back of Europe’s largest construction project. Work is set to peak over the next two years, so it’s vital that businesses continue to seize the opportunities that Crossrail has to offer.” The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: “I have long championed the fact that investment in infrastructure in the capital means investment, growth and jobs for the entire United Kingdom. Crossrail is the perfect example, with this innovative and game changing London transport project delivering thousands of jobs across the length and breadth of the UK.”
