Considerate Constructors Scheme welcomes UK Construction Week’s commitment to improving the image of the construction industry.
UK Construction Week (UKCW) – one of the largest trade shows for the built environment – has become a Professional Partner of the Considerate Constructors Scheme, the national organisation established by the construction industry to improve its image.
As a Professional Partner, UKCW has made a commitment to improving the image of the construction industry and comply with all aspects of the Scheme’s Event Code of Considerate Practice. UK Construction Week 2018 takes place from 9-11 October at the NEC, Birmingham.
UKCW Event Director Nathan Garnett said: “It absolutely makes sense to apply the principles of the Considerate Constructors Scheme to a major national event of this scale. Having this partnership with the CCS is a fundamental part of our commitment to ensuring a considerate event of the highest quality, which also promotes a very positive image of construction to everyone involved during the week and behind the scenes.”
Considerate Constructors Scheme Chief Executive Edward Hardy said: “We are delighted to welcome UKCW as a Professional Partner of the Scheme. UKCW is in a prime position of working in collaboration with its exhibitors, supply chain, workforce, presenters and attendees to ensure a positive image of our industry, not just for themselves, but for the industry as a whole.”
In addition to the Professional Partnership, the Scheme will also be speaking on three panel sessions at UKCW 2018 from 9-11 October at the NEC, Birmingham. www.ukconstructionweek.com
The Considerate Constructors Scheme recently launched the ‘Promoting Construction’ campaign to promote the image of construction. Promoting Construction calls for everyone involved in the industry, and its related sectors, to promote a positive image of construction on social media using the hash tag #loveconstruction. The campaign was officially launched at the Scheme’s ‘Image of Construction’ event held on 11th September at the technology venue CodeNode, London.
