UK Construction Week

Posted by Bethany March

UK Construction Week London & Birmingham are the UK’s largest trade exhibitions for the construction industry. UKCW also holds the prestigious “Best Trade Show in the UK” award from both the Association of Event Organisers and Exhibition News.

Bringing together all walks of the construction industry under one roof, over 600 suppliers exhibit at each event and 300 industry leaders attend to take part in debates and keynote sessions. Both events also have other exhibitions co-located with them, as well as conferences and awards.

Backed by major trade bodies, including the CPA and CCS, these events are shaped by the industry, for the industry.

These events present the sector with unrivalled opportunities to network and develop relationships with contractors, housebuilders, local authorities, major projects, clients and the trades, all under one roof.
