Acres at UK Infrastructure Show

Representatives from Acres have attended the UKs leading infrastructure & supply chain event.

The UK is actively shaping a promising future through a comprehensive plan involving significant infrastructure endeavours across the nation. The Major Projects Portfolio of the UK Government includes 244 initiatives with a combined value exceeding £800 billion, showcasing the extensive array of ongoing projects and the vast opportunities available for suppliers.

Efforts are in progress to establish new transportation networks, healthcare facilities, renewable energy ventures, and housing developments. These projects aim to enhance the quality of public services the populace seeks, fostering a dynamic setting conducive to novel strategies and technological advancements. The UK Infrastructure Show (UKIS) serves as a prime gathering spot for purchasers and vendors to exchange innovative ideas and discover fresh opportunities.

Each project, regardless of its scope, offers substantial prospects for enterprises of every size to engage in. UKIS stands as the sole event that aggregates these prospects in a single venue on a specific day, allowing participants to navigate and connect with a multi-billion-pound market and carve out their niche within it.

The event was an opportunity to learn more about opportunities within the infrastructure sector and has led to positive enquiries regarding HS2.

HS2, or High Speed 2, is a major high-speed railway project under construction in the United Kingdom, aiming to link London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds. Its primary goal is to enhance connectivity between these major cities, reduce travel times, and alleviate congestion on the existing rail network. HS2 is not just about improving travel times; it’s also intended to boost economic growth across the region, create thousands of jobs, and support the UK’s environmental and carbon reduction objectives by providing a cleaner alternative to car and air travel. The project is one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects and represents a significant investment in the UK’s future transport infrastructure.

HS2’s approach to sourcing metal products emphasises sustainability, durability, and compliance with international standards. The project aims to stimulate economic growth by sourcing materials from UK suppliers where possible, while also ensuring that all materials meet the high-performance requirements necessary for a state-of-the-art high-speed rail system.
