Howard Chapman, Buildingtalk Editor, explains why UK Construction Week is set to play a key role in the long term success of the building industry.
UK Construction Week, launched last year, was the biggest construction trade event the UK has seen in years.
Our Video of the Week offers you the highlights and an opportunity hear what many influential participants had to say about the show that brought together nine shows under one roof including Grand Designs Live that overlapped the trade element by two days, making it the ideal proposition for self builders and home owners working on live construction projects.
2015 saw a resurgent interest in events, exhibitions and awards over a wide range of disciplines right across the construction industry. Buildingtalk supported many of these including:
- Jewson Live – the UK’s largest Builders’ Merchant Show
- Explore Offsite – promoting the best in precision building
- Scotland Build – showcasing latest innovative products from the Scottish construction industry
- NLA ‘New Ideas for Housing’ exhibition at The Building Centre in London
UK Construction Week 2016
However, the development of UK Construction Week was the most significant new event last year and is set to play a key role in the long term success on the building industry.
So save the date for next year’s event taking place at the Birmingham NEC from 18 – 20 October 2016. It will offer over 1,000 exhibitors an audience of over 55,000 visitors.
The show is organised by Media 10, the UK’s largest design and build event company.
