Property, development and construction industries
organisation the fbe (Forum for the Built Environment) has lined up a string of
events in the East Midlands over the next few months.
The organisation, which nationally is the longest
established networking group for the sector, is planning a race evening at
Leicester Racecourse on July 23rd and a Golf Day at The Leicestershire
Golf Club on September 11th.
Meanwhile, entries have now opened for the East Midlands fbe
annual awards, which reward the scheme and team behind development projects in
Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. Free to enter,
the award winners will be announced at a ceremony in Leicester on October 9th.
Recently appointed regional chairman of the East Midlands
fbe, Jef Todd, who is business development director at civil and structural
engineering firm BSP Consulting, said: “The fbe events are open to members and
non-members, and are a great way of networking and making new contacts for
people who work in, or alongside, the construction, property or development
sector.
“The committee hopes to welcome new faces, as well as old
friends, to the social events that have been organised, and is also looking
forward to seeing entries for the East Midlands fbe awards, which have
previously given accolades to developments such as One Friar Gate Square in
Derby, Hibiscus Court, in the St Ann’s area of Nottingham
and Albany House, a £8.5m ExtraCare housing scheme in Nottingham,
as well as The Madrasah project in Evington, Leicester, and Silver Arcade in
Leicester.”
