Subcontractors and suppliers from Glasgow are being invited to a free ‘Meet the Buyer’ event at Hampden Park on Thursday to line-up deals with major industry names.

Constructionline is hosting the event session to help small businesses and SMEs meet face to face with key procurement decision makers from around Scotland.

Heron Bros Ltd will be recruiting for work at Glasgow University worth £13.4m, as well as projects like the refurbishment of Kilpatrick Secondary School in West Scotland worth £7.5m.

Other buyers that have signed up include the Scottish Government, and the National Trust for Scotland, as well as Stewart Milne Group, McLaughlin & Harvey, Barr Construction, Clark Contracts, Hadden Construction and Mears.

Stephanie Lawrie, Client Relationship Manager at Constructionline, said: “In our experience local government and other businesses are wanting to give work to SMEs in their area, and on the other side, contractors are very eager to get involved in these projects. However, it’s often challenging for each to gain access to the other.

“This event is designed to offer valuable introductions between local construction companies and buyers to make this link possible, and to help build relationships between them for future projects.”

The event will run from 8:30am until 3pm and suppliers do not have to be a Constructionline member to attend. For more information or to register interest click here
