A new Roofing Expo and a dedicated hire industry showcase will be just two of the new features when the UK’s largest built environment event, UK Construction Week (UKCW), returns to Birmingham’s NEC 1-3 October.

Officially opened by architect and Channel 4 presenter George Clarke, the Birmingham construction show attracts over 20,000 visitors from diverse backgrounds, including architects, builders, contractors, and suppliers. Visitors to UKCW span the UK and beyond, drawing international professionals seeking the latest industry trends, innovations, and networking opportunities.

With this year’s theme of ‘Growth’, UKCW Birmingham will examine a myriad topics across a range of stages and hubs, over three days of insight, innovation and inspiration.

The multi award-winning construction show will debut a range of new features, including a new stage dedicated to Net Zero and sustainability, alongside the Main Stage, Digital Construction Hub, Live Demo Theatre, Skills & Training Hub, Culture Change Hub, CPD Hub, and Skills and Training Hub, all highlighting the most pressing topics across the sector.

The roofing sector comes together at a new co-located Roofing, Cladding and Insulation Expo, which will showcase the latest solutions, engage in thought leadership and celebrate the industry.

Onsite On Hire will also be co-located with UK Construction Week Birmingham; a new hire industry showcase designed to show the very best tools, compact plant and equipment exhibitors.

This year, the show will also be partnering with National Retrofit Hub, a nonprofit collaborative organisation working with the industry to enable the delivery of housing retrofit across the UK, who will be programming panel discussions across the three days.

Across the show’s three days, industry professionals and enthusiasts alike will have access to unparalleled networking, face-to-face meetings with high profile brands and knowledge boosting seminars, workshops and CPD sessions, all of which will be announced in August.

UKCW Birmingham will feature hundreds of leading brands, including Artex, Kingspan, SIG, Don & Low, Biffa, Fischer Fixings, Reco Surfaces, Hexagon, PlanRadar, BetonBlock, Build Warranty, MERS, Reconomy, Ford and Utility Parts, and more.

UK Construction Week Birmingham is the catalyst for growth in the built environment sector where real change can happen with the face-to-face connections forged between global players, policy makers and industry professionals across the three-day event.
