Nathan Garnett, Director of UKCW at Media 10, comments, “This will be our second conference with Building a Safer Future, and we look forward to creating more momentum through shared learning and experience. There can be no better way of learning than by hearing and meeting those that are pioneering the way in this incredibly important mission to improve building safety in the UK. We are reminded daily how big an issue this is for the whole sector and our society as a whole, so we are honoured to be staging conferences like Leading Building Safety which will play their part in carrying on our mission to foster culture change across the built environment and construction sector.”
