NEW for 2021: UK Construction Week London

The UKCW roadmap to recovery will feature a new UK Construction Week set to take place from 4th-6th May at ExCeL. The exhibition will connect the whole supply chain in an event designed to oil the wheels of construction commerce, with Government support and education on how to tap into major investment opportunities in Housing and Infrastructure.

Co-located with Grand Designs Live, the UK’s leading self-build and custom build home show, UKCW London will benefit from 4 established Construction Summits staged at the same time, Quality, Wellbeing, Diversity and Marketing, as well as a Lean in Construction Training Workshop.

The Events & Media section of our Directory includes a wide range of construction specific
resources and articles covering exhibiting, journal advertising, product directories, etc.

UK Construction Week Birmingham will return from 5th-7th October in 2021 with the UK’s largest built environment event at the NEC. Along with four conferences, 15 CPD and Workshop hubs and three major award presentations, UK Construction Week Birmingham 2021 will mark a celebratory focal point as construction can share learnings from the recovery and look to a bright future.

Nathan Garnett, Director for UK Construction Week said, “The pandemic has put construction in the spotlight, from building NHS hospitals to pioneering COVID secure sites, and it has met all of the challenges head on. Now it has been asked to be the catalyst for the economy, and drive the recovery, and we will use all of our events and digital communities to assist in meeting that challenge head on as well”.

Peter Caplehorn, CEO of the Construction Products Association said, “The Government has looked upon construction as a key part of the economy to keep going through the pandemic and ensure vital assets supporting the nation and NHS have continued to function. The industry now has to build on that considerable success of the last 4 months, and now is readying itself to support the growth in construction output that the government’s financial stimulus will generate. There is a significant job to do and UK Construction Week in London and Birmingham in the Spring and Autumn will assist in further connecting an industry that has come together like never before ….”
