Help your construction business grow

Local and regional businesses within the construction sector are being supported by a Coventry and Warwickshire networking and best practice group that offers excellent opportunities for business and personal development.

FORCE, the Forum for Constructing Excellence in Coventry and Warwickshire, organises breakfast seminars that help local businesses to learn about the latest changes and updates affecting the Construction Industry.

Through its diverse membership base and regional support, FORCE can open doors to opportunities that can help managers and leaders develop their client contact base and access business assistance and support. Through networking, members can also gain access to potential business leads. Current members include training and business service providers, suppliers, contractors, consultants and end-user clients.

The breakfast events, held on the last Thursday of every month at the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, feature presentations on a number of industry relevant topics. Recent presentations have included updates on the Swanswell Initiative, Best Construction Practice and the new Diploma in Construction.

Upcoming presentations include updates on the strategic developments planned for the Rugby and Coventry area, and a morning seminar on Anti - Terrorist design.

Every breakfast event presents a new and exciting chance to get updated on the latest construction issues and to meet members of the local Construction community.

For further information, please contact WMCCE on 0121 688 4044 for an information pack, or visit www.wmcce.org

FORCE relies upon the drive and vision of individuals in the local construction industry. All industry stakeholders are welcome to get involved.
