Preparing Blue Light Estates For The Future
With the support of the National Police Estates Group we’re once again hosting this unique conference, bringing the most senior professionals at the forefront of blue light estates, property and facilities management together – with over 30 police, fire and rescue estate professionals in the audience.
The sector is facing new challenges which are also bringing fresh opportunities. A focus on consolidating local services is leading to the creation of huge technologically-advanced facilities, the disposal of under-used or derelict sites and more. Over 30 blue light organisations will be joining us to discuss the constraints and barriers within their estates – airing their thoughts through several panel discussions whilst sharing best practice amongst other professionals, before we hear from those with major estate programmes planned with details to be shared on their proposed projects, the procurement opportunities and more. Speakers and attendees include:
