Amanda Nichol from event organisers BE Group said: “With the challenges facing the construction industry it’s more important than ever suppliers attend events where they can network with organisations that are continuing to invest in development projects, and showcase products and capability.

“These events are hugely popular. They are a time-efficient and successful way for buyers and suppliers to meet and do business”

Suppliers attending the event meet the buyers in pre-booked, private, face-to-face meetings.

The Building & Construction Meet the Buyer event takes place on March 18 at the Reebok Stadium, Bolton.
