Find opportunities at meet the buyer event
The Chamber is working with one of its longstanding members, GF Tomlinson, to deliver a ‘meet the buyer’ event for the construction sector. It will provide construction
companies looking for sub- contracting opportunities with access to tier 1 contractors which deliver a range of projects on the East Midlands Property Alliance (Empa) Framework. The event will offer opportunities
to develop working relationships with companies such as GF Tomlinson, Wates Construction and ASHE Construction. With Empa currently having a
139-strong public sector client base delivering projects such as housing, local authority education, health, emergency services, transport and many more, this is a great opportunity to develop new pipelines of work. The event is free to attend and
takes place on 19 May, 8am–12.30pm, at the Proact Stadium, Chesterfield.
