First construction networking event lays foundations for future successes

BUILDING on its already established reputation – Safe Local Trades has teamed up with the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce to lay the foundations for a new networking event.

The jointly run Construction Booth Networking morning was staged at the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium, with the aim of giving businesses within the construction industry the opportunity to meet and network within a relaxed setting.

As well as members of consumer champions Safe Local Trades and Safe Local Services; from areas including IT security, scaffolding, fleet car care and garden landscaping, representatives from similar non-member companies joined the event.

Kerry Cooper of Safe Local Trades said: “This was the first industry related construction event which we ran jointly with the Chamber of Commerce.

“We were delighted with the turn out, and the feedback from those SLT members and non-members who attended has been really positive.

“Teaming up with the Chamber of Commerce and our own members, Peterborough Greyhound Stadium, ensures that we target the best people as well as support the wonderful business acumen we have right here in the city.”

Kerry added: “We hope that this is the first of many events of this kind.”
