Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce Confirms Support for Construction EXPO North
Following the successful announcement of Construction EXPO North, set to take place at Bolton Stadium on Thursday 30 April 2026.
Building on the success of Kent Construction EXPO, which attracts over 3,000 attendees each year, this new Northern edition will provide a dedicated platform for regional construction professionals to collaborate, connect, and grow.
The event will combine an exhibition, conference, Meet the Buyer programme, and networking features, tailored specifically for the North’s construction landscape and Revolution Events Ltd is pleased to confirm the ongoing support of the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce in helping promote and shape the event.
Chris Fletcher, Policy and LSIP Director at the Chamber says “We are delighted to be partnering on bringing this flagship construction expo to the North, and to Greater Manchester for the very first time. Construction is one of the driving forces of our economy creating jobs, enabling regeneration, and laying the foundations for long term growth”.
This support highlights a shared ambition to create a meaningful event for the Northern construction and infrastructure sectors – bringing together businesses, suppliers, and stakeholders to explore opportunities and strengthen networks. Chris continues, “For the Chamber, supporting this sector is critical because it underpins so much of our region’s success from new homes and infrastructure to the places where businesses can thrive. Showcasing Greater Manchester as the host for this event highlights both the strength of our construction industry and the opportunities ahead for the region.”
The event is now open for exhibitor, sponsor, and speaker expressions of interest and the programme will explore the following key themes:
• Build 4.0: The Digital & Innovation Revolution
• Sustainable Futures
• Strengthening the Future Workforce
• Building Safety Act: Navigating the Next Phase
“We’re incredibly grateful for the Chamber’s continued support and insight as we build a new event for the North that reflects the region’s ambition and innovation,” said Deborah Ward Johnstone, Event Director at Revolution Events. “Our shared goal is to create a practical, dynamic, and genuinely valuable day for professionals across construction, property and the built environment.”
Construction EXPO North will bring together professionals from across Greater Manchester and the wider North of England, including developers, contractors, architects, local authorities, manufacturers, engineers, consultants, and more.
“As the Chamber continues to serve its members and support regional development, we are pleased to be working with Revolution Events to highlight the strength and resilience of Greater Manchester’s construction sector,” added Diane ElebertMorgan, Property & Construction Group Manager at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, “This event is a positive example of sector-led collaboration and commercial opportunity.”
