A Meet the Buyer event is being held in Northwich as the town is set to benefit from significant investment in regeneration projects both in the short and long term.
Cheshire West and Chester Council is hosting the event to provide the opportunity for businesses to gain work across a range of building and construction trades.
In the short-term, the new Northwich Market fit-out contractor Medlock, is looking to grow its supply chain prior to work starting on the Barons Quay site in the coming weeks and for its other projects in the North West.
The longer-term development of Weaver Square by VINCI UK Developments to deliver an accessible residential-led community, featuring over 100 new high quality modern homes, will also offer opportunities for local businesses to be considered for contracts as the project progresses.
In addition, the Council’s Facilities Management provider Equans, are looking for suppliers across a range of skills including roofing, general building and groundworks alongside specialist skills such as lightning protection and mansafe systems.
The Council’s Let’s Talk Business Team will also be providing best practice advice at the event on how to tender for contracts and complete tender applications.
The event will take place on Monday 16 February at 8 – 10am at Brio, Northwich Memorial Court, Chesterway, Northwich, CW9 5QJ.

Cllr Nathan Pardoe, Cheshire West and Chester Council Cabinet Member for Inclusive Economy, Regeneration and Digital Transformation, said: “I urge local building and construction businesses to take advantage of this event to meet buyers and be considered for contracts as we begin to transform Northwich town centre. Our construction partners are eager to meet potential suppliers and work with us to ensure businesses based in the Northwich area can benefit from the town’s regeneration.”
