The free event will take place on 17 October at the Imperial War Museum.

The Elephant & Castle plans span 15 years and will include the development of almost 3,000 new homes, shops and restaurants, as well as parks and community spaces.

Amanda Reynolds, Business Development Manager from organiser Constructionline, said: “It can be challenging for local construction companies to get involved in larger projects.

“For this reason, it is great to see Lend Lease sourcing local subcontractors, suppliers and trades people on such a high profile scheme and supporting the local economy.

“Hosting events like this which bring local suppliers together with clients is at the heart of what we do – we want to help them find and secure work and also make it easier for businesses to find reliable and local construction companies.”

Lend Lease’s Nigel McKay, Head of Procurement for Development, said: “The scheme is one of the largest remaining regenerations in Zone 1.

“We’re keen to work with local contractors, giving them the opportunity to secure work right on their doorstep and be a part of what is set to be a prolific transformation.”

The event will run from 9am- 1pm and registration is advised to avoid disappointment.
