Interested companies are being invited to a Meet the Buyer event in Sunderland hosted by Constructionline on Thursday September 15 at The Stadium of Light.
Joining Kier and Wates will be Mears, Elliot Group, Your Homes Newcastle and Gateshead Council.
Paul Dodsworth, Business Unit Director, Wates Construction North East and Yorkshire, said: “Local businesses bring a great wealth of expertise to our projects across the North East, not least due to their intimate knowledge of the areas in which we work.
“These ‘Meet the Buyer’ events enable us to grow relationships with prospective supply chain members, whilst also creating valuable employment and training opportunities for the region.”
Aaron Good, key account manager at Constructionline, said: “Our Meet the Buyer events help small businesses really understand what it is that buyers in their regions are looking for so they can join robust, local supply chains.
“We’ll be on hand during the event with the latest advice on the processes involved with selection and tenders and, ultimately, help to make the buying process more accessible to everyone.”
Suppliers do not have to be Constructionline members to attend.
