“It seems crazy, and it could be diff erent, it just needs something
to bring local people together.” Prop Connect events will be geared around making
introductions and making sure that guests get a chance to make connections with anyone they feel they may be able to help, or who might be able to help them. Anyone arriving alone or for the fi rst time will be welcomed at the door and introduced to another guest or guests to start the conversations going. It is hoped, over time, that representatives from the education
sector will see the benefi t of attending, to forge stronger links between the construction sector and schools, colleges and universities to help address skills shortages. Parm said: “We hear a lot about skill shortages and think it
would be benefi cial for people in education to hear what those in the construction sector are saying about what they need. It might be that they have an individual who is clearly talented and looking for a position in a company, invaluable for those looking to grow or scale their businesses. “We want the group to be open to everyone and inclusive.
T ere will be no cap on size of business or turnover. It might be a large company, or a one-man band looking for advice. I’ve never
met anyone in construction who isn’t prepared to pass on their knowledge and expertise to someone looking to grow and develop, and those conversations might just lead to being able to work together in some way.” Matthew added: “T ere are some great networking groups in
the county but they’re very general. If you’re a print company, for instance, your clients could be from any sector. In our sector people know what and who they need and those outside the sector have little need for a quantity surveyor or an acoustics specialist. T at’s why we need something more specifi c. “T e idea is that if you work in property and construction you
should be able to fi nd anyone you need in that room. It will be an opportunity to showcase your business, sell your services and show why you should be getting that work closer to home.”
