Property, development and construction industries organisation the fbe (Forum for the Built Environment) has lined up a string of events in the East Midlands over the next few months.
The organisation, which nationally is the longest established networking group for the sector, is planning a race evening at Leicester Racecourse on July 23rd and a Golf Day at The Leicestershire Golf Club on September 11th.
Meanwhile, entries have now opened for the East Midlands fbe annual awards, which reward the scheme and team behind development projects in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. Free to enter, the award winners will be announced at a ceremony in Leicester on October 9th.
Recently appointed regional chairman of the East Midlands fbe, Jef Todd, who is business development director at civil and structural engineering firm BSP Consulting, said: “The fbe events are open to members and non-members, and are a great way of networking and making new contacts for people who work in, or alongside, the construction, property or development sector.
“The committee hopes to welcome new faces, as well as old friends, to the social events that have been organised, and is also looking forward to seeing entries for the East Midlands fbe awards, which have previously given accolades to developments such as One Friar Gate Square in Derby, Hibiscus Court, in the St Ann’s area of Nottingham and Albany House, a £8.5m ExtraCare housing scheme in Nottingham, as well as The Madrasah project in Evington, Leicester, and Silver Arcade in Leicester.”
