You always meet a diverse range of businesses and their representatives in a lively session of informal but facilitated networking.

Our first Urbano Build speaker for 2017 is Dr David Hancock. David leads the Government Construction Team and chairs the Government Construction Board for the Cabinet Office and the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA).
