Not one, but two, meet the client events are scheduled for ACE members in November.

The New Hospital Programme will present to the SME Forum on Friday 19 November. Following this, a dedicated session has been organised with water and wastewater treatment specialists Biwater on Tuesday 23 November.

Vanessa Bold, head of supplier management at the New Hospital Programme, is seeking input from the SME community to help them shape their commercial strategy which is still in development. This is a unique opportunity for SMEs to provide input into the early stages of a significant £3.7 billion Government programme.

The session on Friday 19 November at 10.00am, forms part of the regular online SME Forum and is open to representatives of any small or medium sized ACE member. Book your place by emailing Chetna today.

A few days later on Tuesday 23 November at 12.00pm, Harry Mouquet and Nicholas Wise of Biwater will be presenting an exclusive and dedicated member-only event where they will showcase some of the 25,000 projects in 90 countries it has completed since 1968. The online event will demonstrate how they finance, consult, process engineer, design, construct, operate, maintain and own water and wastewater facilities – in both rural and urban environments.

After the exclusive session, members can book a one-to-one meeting to discuss capabilities, expertise, projects and collaboration directly with Biwater.

Commenting on ACE’s two meet the client events, Karis Thain, head of membership, groups and Scotland, said: “We’re looking forward to these two events which we hope will nurture constructive and collaborative partnerships. Although online, places are still limited so please book your place early to avoid disappointment.”

“As we turn our attention to recovery, providing a platform for our members to showcase their expertise, as well as opportunities to meet potential clients, will become an increasingly important area of our activity over the coming months.”
