Electrical course graduates may be needed on Shell Centre redevelopment

Date: 29/07/2011

The redevelopment of the Shell Centre in London may involve the recruitment of technicians who have taken electrical courses once construction starts.

Canary Wharf Group (CWG) and Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company will each put up £150 million for the project on the capital's South Bank.

Both companies will act as joint development managers, while the former will also assume the role of construction manager.

George Iacobescu, chairman and chief executive of CWG, claimed the area is one of London's best-loved places and said he looks forward to working alongside Qatari Diar and the local community.

"It is both a privilege and a great responsibility to be involved in this redevelopment project, which will re-energise a key part of this area of London," he added.

The Shell Centre, built in 1961, currently consists of a 27-storey tower and was the first skyscraper to exceed the height of the Victoria Tower and Palace of Westminster.
