Major contractors will be looking to boost their supply chains across Yorkshire at a “Meet the Buyer” event at the home of Leeds United.

Local subcontractors are invited to attend the networking morning to discuss upcoming contracts with some of the area’s biggest buyers, including Balfour Beatty, Kier, Farrans, Wates and McGoff Construction.

The event will give subcontractors the chance to talk to leading contractors and public-sector authorities face to face.

Constructionline Sales Director, Andrew Lowe, said: “Meet the Buyer events aim to give construction SMEs a unique opportunity to secure meetings that would otherwise take months to secure in just a day.

“It is incredibly exciting; it saves many businesses time and money and allows projects to move much faster. We look forward to meeting you all at the event.”

The event is open to members and non-members of Constructionline, and will feature reprsentatives from:

    • Acclaim
    • Plastic Surgeon
    • Centurion Site Services Ltd
    • Newark & Sherwood Homes
    • Torsion Group
    • Farrans
    • Balfour Beatty
    • McGoff Construction Ltd
    • Orbis
    • Wates Construction Limited
    • Kier Services East Region
    • BESA
    • MCP Environmental

The event will be held at Leeds United Football Club, Elland Road, Leeds, LS11 0ES, from 8:30am to 2:00pm, on 3rd May 2018.

Tickets are free, however the event is expected to be in high demand, so all wishing to attend must book here.
