Construction businesses from across East Yorkshire and Hull can learn about a range of people related topics to maximise your key assets, people, at a free event taking place next month.
Invest East Yorkshire and Invest Hull are working together to stage the 2024 Construction Summit at the MKM Stadium in Hull on Wednesday 20 November, from 8.30am to 1.30pm. It is being delivered in collaboration with The Business Growth and Skills Hub, the Construction Industry Training Board, Humber Training Group and Hobson & Porter.
Building on the successful June event, the Summit brings together construction businesses of all sizes, from small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to some of the sector’s biggest players. The theme is ‘People and Skills’ so the focus will be on how businesses can support their employees to get the very best out of them. It will cover topics such as recruitment and succession planning, as well as offering an overview of local apprenticeship and training provision. Delegates will also gain an insight into the latest industry trends and developments, and an increased understanding of the local supply chain and how to navigate the market.
A series of themed sessions taking place throughout the day will equip those who attend with practical tools and strategies to manage employee well-being and provide them with invaluable networking opportunities with key regional and national organisations, including ESH, Houlton, and Hobson & Porter.
Joe Booth, Business Development Director at Hobson & Porter, said: “This is a must-attend event for any local construction businesses that are looking to grow and develop their workforce at a time when the construction industry is facing a continued skills and labour shortage. It will provide a unique opportunity to network and collaborate with some of the biggest construction companies in the region, including national businesses with a presence in Hull and East Yorkshire.”
“It will benefit businesses of all sizes, including small businesses looking for local supply chain opportunities and medium to larger businesses that want to develop their workforce and take advantage of the opportunities which will be forthcoming in the sector”
