What's on - workshops, events and competitions
Upcoming events
As the nation’s leading highways business, we regularly host events to connect with organisations operating in the infrastructure and professional services supply chain.
We run face-to-face and online events where we inform, consult and collaborate with suppliers - discussing sector challenges to find solutions and sharing information about our pipeline of work.
We also exhibit and participate in industry led conferences, exhibitions and shows where we have the opportunity to talk to suppliers, stakeholders and road users about our work.
