The Considerate Constructors Scheme says it “welcomes” UKCW’s commitment to representing the industry positively.
UKCW is a built environment event that will bring together 35,000 construction professionals and more than 650 exhibitors with nine shows at the NEC Birmingham from 9-11 October.
It has become a Professional Partner of the CCS, the national organisation established by the construction industry to improve its image.
This means UKCW has made a commitment to comply with all aspects of the Scheme’s Event Code of Considerate Practice – which CCS says “compliments and builds upon” UKCW’s Exhibitors Code of Conduct Policy:
CCS Chief Executive Edward Hardy said: “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.”
UKCW Event Director Nathan Garnett added: “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.”
