Construction and trade event Foundation Live comes to Yorkshire

Free tickets for Foundations Live 2022, which is one of the region’s biggest construction, trade, networking, and careers events.

The event, which takes place at Bishop Burton College in East Yorkshire on 20th October, offers the opportunity to meet and network with a vast range of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers across the construction and engineering industries. More than 70 exhibitors will also be showcasing their services, products, and training and employment opportunities.

Hobson & Porter, the event’s main organiser, will be joined by the likes of Beal Homes, Vinci Construction, Keepmoat, Balfour Beatty, Spencer Group, Jewson, Dulux, British Gypsum, Plasmor, and CITB.

David Blades, SHEQ director at Hobson & Porter, said: “Foundations Live offers anyone working in construction the opportunity to meet and network with the construction supply chain, meet buyers, find out about new products and new projects on the horizon. All the latest industry trends will be showcased, with a focus on sustainability and technology.

“The event provides businesses with the chance to discuss training and development possibilities with numerous training providers to develop their own talent and is also a great way for construction and engineering businesses to learn about the various grants available to them, covering technology investments, recruitment, training, and apprenticeships.

“Foundations Live is the best place in the region for anyone working in construction and engineering to make worthwhile connections.”

In addition to trade and networking opportunities, Foundations Live also addresses the construction industry’s skill shortage. The event’s interactive careers element, which runs in partnership with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) appeals to people of all ages from primary school pupils to adults interested in retraining.

Schools, colleges, and training providers, from across the region, will be attending Foundations Live, along with their students who want to find out about the diverse career opportunities on offer in construction.

This year, representatives from Talentview Construction will also be on hand to help people find first jobs, apprenticeships, and work experience opportunities, specifically in construction. Funded by the CITB and supported by Government, Talentview Construction is an online platform for young people to show their skills and experience to employers actively recruiting for early-careers positions.
