Construction community coming together at Shrewsbury networking event

A networking event for the local construction sector is returning to Shrewsbury later this month.

Shropshire Constructing Excellence's monthly meet up aims to bring together people from the local construction community and highlight the work going on across the county.

The free evening is hosted by local business group Shropshire Constructing Excellence and sponsored by Shrewsbury-based building supplies firm MKM.

Tim Lloyd is the vice-chairman of Shropshire Constructing Excellence and owner of quantity surveyors CQS Solutions in Telford.

He said the evening played an important role in bringing the construction sector together.

"These events have really struck a chord with people across the industry," he said.

"They're friendly, informal and genuinely useful - a chance to catch up, share ideas and build relationships without any pressure or forced introductions.

"Construction is built on relationships. The more we can bring people together, the stronger the sector becomes and the more we can do to support growth in this region.

"We're excited to keep the momentum going through the rest of the year and hope to grow the group as word continues to spread."

The event will take place at The Loopy Shrew bar in Bellstone, in Shrewsbury town centre and starts at 5pm on September 17 - visit Eventbrite to register.

The networking socials will continue throughout the year on the third Thursday of each month at the same venue, with organisers now seeking sponsors for future events.
