This is the first in a series of networking events looking to better connect the construction industry in the Northwest.

This informal gathering of construction professionals allows us to make new contacts within the industry, as well as discuss ways in which we can support each other in building better quality relationships.

Deliver Success with Better Connected Relationships

From architects to developers and contractors through to their many subcontractors, the quality of a working relationship is key to the quality, and survival, of a business. Throughout the day-to-day operations of a project there are many different people and processes involved that all need to run smoothly and efficiently whilst avoiding any breakdown in communications.

This event will include helpful advice from experienced professionals on how they have achieved better working relationships which have resulted in the delivery of successful projects and long-lasting connections.

Drinks, Nibbles and Networking

Guests will enjoy canapes and drinks with stunning views across Manchester from the Hilton Hotel Deansgate, along with plenty of networking opportunities with likeminded individuals who are true advocates of the construction industry.
