Meet the buyer: Sir Robert McAlpine meets local suppliers

Sir Robert McAlpine is hosting a special “Meet the Buyer” event in Carlisle to discuss exciting collaboration opportunities related to the University of Cumbria, Citadels project.

Small and medium enterprises in the region are invited to attend. You will be able to engage with the Sir Robert McAlpine project team dealing with the pre-contract and delivery phases of the scheme, to exchange ideas and showcase your products and services.

Given the phased nature of the project, combining elements of new build, refurbishment and works to heritage structures, there are many opportunities to take part in this exciting scheme and we would emphasise it is particularly relevant to the small and medium enterprises that have existing experience and skills in the following trades:
