About
Opportunity HSQ
Connecting Hounslow residents with local employment, training and skills opportunities
Local Impact
Real Local Benefits
When new developments come to a borough, they bring real opportunities for local people - jobs, apprenticeships, training and community engagement.
Barratt London and Wilson Bowden have delivered High Street Quarter, a 210 million pound mixed-use regeneration of Hounslow town centre: 588 homes, 134,000 sq ft of commercial space, a 10 screen Cineworld and a new public square. The work it creates, from construction and fit-out to permanent retail, leisure and cinema roles, should reach Hounslow residents first.
Barratt London and Wilson Bowden is delivering High Street Quarter Hounslow. Local residents get first sight of jobs, apprenticeships and training placements created on the scheme, with on-the-ground support to apply.
Purpose
Our Mission
We believe local development should mean local jobs. Opportunity Platform exists because when major new development reshapes Hounslow, the jobs, apprenticeships and training it creates should land first with the people whose streets are changing, not travel to outsiders with better networks.
We work borough by borough, pairing every listing with resident-facing support from local partners so Hounslow residents are first in line where they live.
