UK Construction Week (UKCW), the UK’s leading construction event, is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with the Federation of Master Builders (FMB). This collaboration will bring a wealth of expertise and thought leadership to the London (May 7-9, 2025) and Birmingham (September 30 – October 2 2025) editions of the event, focusing on key housing issues critical to the construction industry and wider society.
The partnership will see the FMB contribute compelling and informative content to the UKCW programme, with a focus on pressing topics such as housing delivery, energy efficiency, skills shortages, and competence. These insights will help construction professionals stay ahead of challenges and opportunities in a rapidly evolving housing landscape.
Neil Gaisford, Divisional Director – Construction, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership:
“We are thrilled to welcome the FMB as a key partner for UK Construction Week in both London and Birmingham. The FMB’s commitment to raising standards in the construction industry aligns perfectly with our mission to inspire progress and innovation. By addressing vital housing issues together, we aim to equip our attendees with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive. This collaboration is a fantastic opportunity to bring the best minds in the industry together to tackle challenges and share solutions that will drive the sector forward.”
Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the FMB said:
“This important collaboration comes at a time when the construction industry is in the spotlight. We need to prepare and empower builders to deliver 1.5million homes, retrofit 5 million homes, and ensure that at all stages competence is never compromised. We look forward to engaging with the industry to discuss these challenges to ensure that the Government’s ambitions can be delivered, but also to shine a light on the important role builders play in driving growth.”
The FMB, the UK’s largest trade association in the construction industry, represents thousands of small and medium-sized building companies and is a powerful voice for improving the quality of the UK’s built environment. Their involvement will enrich UKCW’s reputation as a hub for thought leadership and professional development.
UK Construction Week continues to bring together professionals from across the construction sector, offering a vibrant platform for networking, learning, and showcasing the latest industry innovations. With the support of the FMB, the 2025 events promise to deliver even greater value for attendees and exhibitors alike.
