Construction and Property Networking Lunch

2 September 2026

The construction and property sector continues to face significant workforce challenges, with demand for skilled professionals outpacing supply. If you’re looking to grow your network, stay informed about major regional developments, and gain insight into the future of the industry, join us for our next Construction and Property event.

Alongside the opportunity to make valuable new connections, you’ll hear the latest on Sizewell C, one of the UK’s largest infrastructure projects, including opportunities for businesses across the region and how local organisations can get involved.

We’ll also provide an update on regional skills developments, exploring how the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) is working with employers, education providers and training organisations to tackle skills shortages, develop the future workforce and support long-term growth across the sector.


Guest speaker

Ashley Shorey-Mills – Supply Chain Engagement Director at Suffolk Chamber of Commerce – Working with Sizewell C

Ashley has spent 5 years working as part of the supply chain engagement team at the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, focusing on getting the greatest impact and legacy from the Sizewell C project.  Supporting and guiding local and regional businesses through the requirements and expectations of major infrastructure projects, the Chambers work has now expanded into other projects and clients and is utilising the extensive knowledge and experience across his team to best support existing and prospective businesses in the East of England.  The Sizewell C project is a Catalyst for growth, diversification and sustainability in the East, and Ashley and the supply chain team at the Chamber of Commerce want to make accessing and preparing for the raft of opportunities as easy and accessible as possible.
