Location
Online event
As the construction industry leads the UK's economic recovery in 2021, a shortage of key materials threatens to stall the sector's progress
About this event
Whilst demand for key construction materials including cement, timber, steel and many others soars, suppliers to the UK market are struggling to meet current demand and many predict the situation will worsen over the coming months and may last well into 2022 and beyond.
Construction Alliance North East (CAN) is collaborating with the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) North East, the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF), NEPO and legal specialist Bevan Brittan to bring together the construction sector in the Region.
As an important Stakeholder in the North East construction and infrastructure sector, you are invited to join us in our Construction Materials Summit. Whether you’re a Client, Consultant, Contractor or Supplier you need to attend this important event.
You will hear from an expert panel who will provide analysis, insight and practical solutions on working collaboratively to help solve this 'whole industry' problem.
