Feedback from Members & Guests

"What sets BCCEC apart from other business events is the atmosphere in the room that makes people relaxed to talk and communicate. You know that people are not there for the money – but to see opportunities for improvements and sharing a common purpose" - C Pearce, Telecetera Ltd

I was very fortunate to attend the BCCEC event last Thursday. How refreshing it was, guided by the Chair, to witness a group people from varying backgrounds prepared to unravel the difficulties of our (construction) industry and seriously explore approaches to provide a powerful and effective "voice" similar to that enjoyed by
other industries" S Morgan, Wates (National Member of Constructing Excellence)
