Specialist and trade contractors seeking to win work can meet a line up of 17 client firms at the special event being held at Canterbury Christchurch University this week on Thursday 16.

The free event being hosted by Constructionline will be attended by contractor buyers from Breyer, Denne Construction, Kier, Lovell Partnership, Vinci Facilities and Warings.

Clients also on hand include Kent University, which is planning a big expansion programme, and Canterbury City Council.

Rod Panayi, client relationship manager from Constructionline, said: “In many cases local councils and other businesses want to give work to SMEs in their area, and in turn the contractors are eager to win these tenders but it’s often hard for each to gain access to one another.

“This event is designed to give local construction companies some valuable introductions as well as helping them to learn about upcoming work opportunities, and how best to win business from the buyers.”

The event starts at 9am and ends at 4pm. Any contractors interested in attending can find out more and register here.
