With a national infrastructure pipeline of over £600Bn in projects to be completed over the next ten years, the infrastructure industry represents a significant opportunity for businesses of all sizes.

Keith Waller IPA UKIS 2018

Keith Waller, IPA

The opening address will be given by Mayor of the West Midlands, Andy Street. This will be followed by a crucial knowledge session from Keith Waller, Commercial Advisor at the Infrastructure and Projects Authority. Here he will discuss the government’s Transforming Infrastructure Performance report and its objective of increasing the effectiveness of investment in infrastructure by improving productivity, including the immediate priorities for the IPA over the next two years. The report is a long-term change programme with a ten year horizon that builds on existing best practice and tackles the systemic issues that still limit the performance of UK infrastructure.

Following Mr Waller is a representative from arguably the biggest infrastructure project in Europe, and certainly the UK: HS2. HS2 Ltd will discuss the supply chain priorities and plans for the development of Britain’s new railway.

Pre-lunch, there will be an informative session from Tideway Asset Management Director, Roger Bailey, who will give a project overview of London’s ‘super-sewer’ and the Supply Chain Opportunities available.

Finally, keynote addresses will also be given by: Greg Bradley, Head of Business Advisory at Arcadis and Director at Northern Powerhouse Partnership, Henri Murison.
