 The Hub at Greenbuild Expo
The North West Construction Knowledge Hub (NWCKH) is is exhibiting at Greenbuild Expo, offering advice and guidance to visitors on how to become more profitable while embracing the sustainability agenda. Launched last year, the NWCKH is a three-year project with the aim of giving small and medium construction firms in the North West the knowledge to better manage their carbon and waste impacts and provide support and guidance for construction businesses in the region, to help them to become more productive, cost effective and efficient.
Tony Baldwinson, project manager of NWCKH commented: “The Knowledge Hub is an innovative project that draws on a number of regional strengths – construction, sustainable production and partnership working. The vision to not only reduce CO2 emissions and create 300 jobs, but to also safeguard a further 300 employment roles. The Greenbuild Expo is a platform on which we can raise awareness of the Hub to a greater target audience and help support SMEs as the industry becomes increasingly challenged to meet sustainability targets.”
The project is funded by the EU (European Regional Development Fund) and the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), and it is led by the Centre for Construction Innovation within the University of Salford’s School of the Built Environment (SoBE). The four partner organisations are the University of Central Lancashire, the University of Liverpool, Urban Vision Ltd and the national Building Research Establishment.
