I-Construct Roadshow: South Kent & East Sussex

Would you like better access to the construction market and the chance to join local and regional supply chains?

I-Construct has put together a series of in-person roadshow events to support businesses and strengthen the supply chain throughout Kent, Essex and East Sussex. You can hear directly from Tier 1 contractors, major projects, network with other businesses, and learn how our new supply chain collaboration platform can help you find new growth opportunities!

South Kent & East Sussex Roadshow

Our roadshow at the Mercure Tunbridge Wells will feature speakers from the major project – Lower Thames Crossing, who will share with you the opportunities they have available and how to get involved.

You’ll hear from Dan Hutchins, Procurement Manager at Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells Procurement Partnership about their procurement process and how to win business with their Local Authority.

To meet Net Zero targets, the UK will need to retrofit an estimated 26 million homes by 2050, presenting real opportunities for business growth. We have invited expert speaker, Jenny Pierpoint from Retrofit Academy, to provide guidance to those in the construction and building maintenance sector to take advantage of these opportunities.

The line up will also include speakers from Tier 1 contractor Wates – discussing the most pressing issues in the sector, as well as outlining current opportunities throughout Kent and Essex.

Plus I-Construct will be discussing our new supply chain collaboration platform, which will help businesses develop local and regional supply chains around major construction projects.
