Constructionline client relationship manager Michael Waddington said: “In our experience, both private and public sector clients want to give work to local contractors and in turn, the contractors are eager to win these tenders. The problem is that it’s often hard for contractors and buyers to get face-to-face to discuss opportunities, which is why we host these events. Establishing relationship between suppliers and clients is at the heart of what we do and the Meet the Buyer events are one of the many benefits for Constructionline member suppliers in helping them find and secure work.”

Along with giving suppliers the chance to meet prospective buyers, construction suppliers will also have the chance to attend presentations on ‘how to work with VINCI Facilities,’ ‘equality and diversity in construction’ and ‘the supply chain sustainability school – developing knowledge and competence.’

The event, sponsored by Kier Construction, is free and suppliers do not have to be registered with Constructionline to attend. For more information about the event and to register your attendance visit:  www.constructionline.co.uk
