ENGIE’s Places & Communities division works alongside local authorities, registered social landlords and other public bodies in the development and regeneration of sustainable, efficient and vibrant communities.

The company recently invited organisations or individuals involved in trades such as joinery, plumbing, brick work, electrical, roofing, flooring, windows and doors etc, to attend a bespoke event aimed at extending its local supply chain.

ENGIE’s construction and regeneration expertise spans homes, hospitals, schools and municipal buildings, meaning the company can offer a diverse portfolio of work and broaden skill sets for key suppliers. This comprehensive offer proved a popular concept for the region’s tradespeople, with ENGIE confirming the event was a big success and they will continue to utilise this formula for maintaining the supply chain.

Stevie Nugent, business development director for ENGIE, said: “Everything we do as a business is aimed at improving lives and putting back into the local community. These events offer the perfect platform to meet local businesses and specialists, while sharing information about the kind of projects we are currently working on.

“The turnout in Bellshill was fantastic and this has resulted in an improved construction trade supplier list. We are now looking to hold a similar event for the professional services, where we will be seeking a broad number of consultants to support us as we continue to expand our presence in Scotland.”
