Transforming the Industry – Discovering the Opportunities for Offsite Manufacturing and Delivery…

This event will bring together over 200 leaders from the property, development, infrastructure and construction industries to drive forward the modular and offsite manufacturing agenda. The recently-issued House of Lords report on ‘Off-Site Manufacturing For Construction: Building for Change’ highlights the importance to Government and the wider UK growth strategy of offsite manufacturing and this event will provide a platform to speak to representatives from across the development and construction industries on the key challenges and opportunities, with some of the most influential businesses and institutions in the sector in attendance.

We will once again have an incredible panel discussing their developments and ongoing vision and need for an offsite supply chain and new disruptors – as they explain and reveal how firms can get involved.
