An event is set to be held in the Midlands which will look to ensure local developments find suitable trades from across the region.

This will see buyers from national construction companies like Henry Boot Construction, Willmott Dixon and GF Tomlinson meet with local suppliers to showcase their schemes.

Grantham-based construction software company, Local Supply Chain has organised the event, which will take place locally at Belton Woods hotel from 8.30am until 2.30pm on Wednesday 19 February.

Requirements for public and private sector schemes, including education facilities, infrastructure and new housing will also be discussed to allow relevant trades and suppliers to discuss how their services can support the delivery of the projects they're interested in.

It's set to be a very productive day for all."

Kevin Beck, Director of Kingsley Specialist Roofing Ltd, commented: "We deliver a range of roofing services across the commercial, industrial, public and residential sectors - not only in the Midlands, but also the South East and London.
