VolkerFitzpatrick hosts annual Supply Chain Event
On 3 November, VolkerFitzpatrick welcomed over 170 people to our annual Supply Chain Forum and Awards Day at our head office in Hoddesdon. The event brought together suppliers and colleagues from across the business, providing an opportunity to share key updates, look ahead to future opportunities and recognise the important role our supply chain plays in the successful delivery of our projects.
Throughout the morning, attendees heard updates from across VolkerFitzpatrick covering a wide range of topics. These included an update on the wider business and our procurement activity, alongside sessions focused on health, safety and wellbeing, inclusion, cyber security, sustainability and social value.
The programme also looked to the future, with a work winning and look ahead session providing our supply chain with insight into upcoming opportunities across our Building and Civils divisions.
As well as sharing updates from across the business, the event provided an opportunity for our supply chain partners to ask questions, speak directly with teams from across VolkerFitzpatrick and network with fellow attendees.
