Kilmarnock

"Building Banter" a networking forum for the construction sector, is all about building relationships, creating new ones, being kept aware of developments in the pipeline and learning from specialist key speakers on the day.

Foreword

As we look to develop Kilmarnock town centre, and consider a number of other key developments to enhance the local community, I am delighted that the Building Banter will bring so many influential people together from within the construction sector. Kilmarnock has a proud industrial and commercial history and, working together, we can look forward to creating the right conditions which will enable the town and surrounding area to prosper.

As leader of the Council, I am delighted that this initiative has its roots in Kilmarnock and look forward to seeing how these events lead to better understanding across the sector and opportunities for local businesses to share in the projects that lie ahead.

Douglas Reid, Council Leader

The continued development of Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley as a vibrant business and social community will rely on the partnerships which evolve across both the public and private sectors and I am delighted to see the Building Banter initiative brings together many businesses within the construction sector to help shape our local identity.

As MSP for Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley I am delighted that so many will come together to share their knowledge and expertise while opening up opportunities to develop key business networks at both a local and national level.

I look forward to hearing the views of the construction community as we look to develop the area to meet the ever changing needs of our community.

Willie Coffey, MSP
