London's Construction Industry Set To Boom

On 18th and 19th June 2015, Oliver Kinross are bringing a new, leading construction exhibition, London Build 2015, to the iconic O2 in London.

The construction industry in London and the South of England has a positive future. Richard Threlfall, Head of Infrastructure, Building and Construction at KPMG UK has noted that for the “first time in many generations the UK has a strong pipeline of construction and infrastructure projects to reinvigorate the economy and drive our future competitiveness”.

Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, has highlighted 33 key development areas across the city. Coupled with improving transport links such as Crossrail and Thameslink, the London construction market can be expected to grow significantly in the next few years.

The O2 will have over 10,000 quality attendees and 200+ exhibitor companies and organisations from the extended construction industry. Everyone from architects to property investors, from site managers to planning authorities will be in attendance, making London Build 2015 an essential place to be to capitalise on the current industry growth.

On the day London Build 2015 will be hosting a range of presentations and workshops, run by high calibre delegates such as Crossrail Programme Director, Simon Wright and Thames Tideway Tunnel Deputy Programme Manager Peter Shipley, with further VIP presenters to be announced. There will also be a range of CPD accredited workshops across the two days.
