The Scottish Construction market creates some 10% of our countries GDP and is a vital component of our future economic growth. Its importance cannot be underestimated. Scotland has a wealth of construction talent and the key to leveraging that skill, experience and enthusiasm in order to ensure our industry is fit for the future, is communication, collaboration and innovation. The annual Scotland Build event has proven to be a tremendous enabling platform, bringing the very best of Scottish Construction together in one place. At Scotland Build 2017, I look forward to once again meeting with our best contractors, consultants and their supply chain expertise to help ensure that our industry is well placed to ensure our hard work translates to a series of sustainably successful outcomes – William McBride – Chair of the Construction Scotland Innovation Centre and MD of Westcrowns Kier is delighted to be presenting and exhibiting at Scotland Build 2017. This is a fantastic opportunity to network with clients, consultants and other stakeholders in the construction industry and to demonstrate how we can support the public sector in the delivery of their Community Benefits requirements – Gordon Reid, Regional Business Development Manager at Kier I am looking forward to Scotland Build 2017 not only for the knowledge sharing opportunity but as a vehicle to catch up and network with the Scottish construction community – and beyond. - David Philp, Global BIM/MIC Consultancy Director at AECOM For more details on visiting, exhibiting, or sponsoring Scotland Build, visit www.scotlandbuildexpo.com or email [email protected]
