The UK’s national housing crisis has never commanded so much coverage, and rightly so. In 2020, Adderstone Group launched its dedicated social housing division, Adderstone Living, to make its contribution towards tackling the crisis by building affordable housing solutions. The Adderstone Group in partnership with RTC North’s West Yorkshire Supply Chain Programme and The Green Economy Programme is holding a Meet the Buyer event on the 2nd October at The Rose Bowl, Leeds Becket.

 

Adderstone’s Regional Director will outline what the opportunities might be for SMEs across West Yorkshire involved in the construction sector with a view to developing its supply chain capability in line with their values and ambitions of corporate social responsibility and a long-term approach to investing in places and creating communities.

 

This is a unique opportunity for West Yorkshire Trade businesses to hear directly about Adderstone’s plans, find out what support the Supply Chain and Green Economy Programmes can offer to help you become supply chain ready, and to network over lunch.
