Dame Judith Hackitt joins BSF in their mission to raise building safety standards
Building a Safer Future (BSF) is a non-profit organisation committed to raising standards in building safety and to support required culture change in the built environment industry.
Nathan Garnett, director of UKCW at Media 10 Ltd commented: “This will be our second conference with Building a Safer Future, and we look forward to creating more momentum through shared learnings and experience. There can be no better way of learning than by hearing and meeting those that are pioneering the way in this incredibly important mission to improve building safety in the UK.
“We are reminded daily how big an issue this is for the whole sector and our society as a whole, so we are honoured to be staging conferences like Leading Building Safety which will play their part in carrying on our mission to foster culture change across the built environment and construction sector.”
UKCW London will return to ExCeL from May 2-4 with three days of debate and discussion from top speakers on how the industry can move forward to tackle its biggest issues, including quality, fire safety, sustainability, offsite manufacturing, mental health, and improving diversity and inclusion.
