Construction line’s Meet the Buyer event in London next month

Free event gives suppliers, contractors and the supply chain the chance to network.

The UK’s leading procurement and supply chain management service is hosting its annual event at the beginning of next month that will showcase a host of employment opportunities.

Put together by Constructionline, the showcase Meet the Buyer event is expected to attract thousands of contractors, suppliers and consultants who will gain valuable information on how to become part of huge work programmes.

It is estimated that potential for contracts falls into the millions of pounds bracket and already those attending includes public sector organisations like the Cabinet Office and the NHS London Procurement Partnership.

Already upwards of 40 construction buyers, contractors including Hill, Bouygues UK, Kier Construction and VINCI Construction have confirmed their attendance.

The event will be held at the Oval Cricket Ground – home of Surrey County Cricket Club – and is free to attend.

Running from 8.30am to 2pm, it is the perfect place to engage with main contractors and buyers from all over the UK in one place.

Rebecca Sperti is the Sales Director at Constructionline and she said that this event is a ‘fantastic opportunity’ for the industry.

“Our Meet the Buyer events are designed to offer valuable introductions between contractors and some of the country’s major public and private sector organisations,” she said.

“After the success we had last year hosting our largest ever event, we wanted to again extend such a fantastic opportunity to contractors from around the UK.

“We encourage all those who are interested in attending to sign up and come along to find out how they can win work with the biggest names in the industry.”

The event, which follows on from last year’s successful edition that was held at Wembley Stadium and attracted more than 1,500 suppliers, will include a schedule of seminars during the day.

Speakers will come from SEC Group, NHS London Procurement Partnership, Constructionline, Bouygues UK, Highways England, McLaughlin & Harvey, Millstream Associates and Urbanis.
