Sport England, Lipton Rogers Developments and Quintain have become the latest clients to join Build UK to address long standing industry issues and lead positive change.
Announcing its first six client partnerships in as many weeks, Build UK is fast becoming the must-join organisation for forward thinking construction firms. Sport England, Lipton Rogers Developments and Quintain have chosen to join Almacantar, Argent and Great Portland Estates plc to achieve tangible results across the industry.
Build UK’s expanding industry reach continues to ensure that all areas of the construction supply chain sit around the same table to agree and implement solutions to the industry’s challenges.
Sport England invests Government and National Lottery funding in organisations and projects that help people be more physically active, including building community sport and leisure facilities.
Charles Johnston, Sport England’s Property Director, said: “As a significant funder of construction projects, it’s vital that we have certainty from our contractors. That’s why we’re engaging with the industry through Build UK. We want to build relationships so that we can get the very best outcomes for people when they play and enjoy sport.”
Build UK Chief Executive Suzannah Nichol MBE added: “Our second year is off to a flying start with the announcement of our first six client partnerships, the launch of Open Doors 2017 and our facilitation of the Skills Hack at the Construction News Summit. Build UK broke new ground when we brought the contracting supply chain together; today we are changing the face of the industry by bringing Clients, Main Contractors and Specialist Contractors around the table for the first time as we continue to pioneer change.”
