Contract Wins
H&F Local Supply Chain Support Project hosted a Networking event at 245 Hammersmith Road on 17th May for the more creative end of the construction industry. 31 people attended from 22 local SMEs. Architects, interior designers and technical building consultants came along who frequently refer each other to clients or sometimes directly commission work from each other.
There was also a hand picked group of specialist local trades and services whose work is often specified by architects and designers. The networking event was a good opportunity for them to meet talented people for the first time who are often based just down the road from them.
Joanna McCormick, Assistant Director of Procurement gave a welcome address and pledged to make it easier for local SMEs to access and win work from the Council. The evening met with a very enthusiastic response from participants. Feedback indicated that 6 good contacts were made per delegate and 96% said they were very or extremely satisfied about the potential for future business.
By popular request we plan to hold another similar event in the autumn. Web: www.hflocalsupplychain.net email: lbhf@mtwconsultants.co.uk
