Warwickshire firms of all sizes and types will have the chance to find out how they can benefit from thousands of supply chain opportunities to be created by HS2 at a roadshow event in Coventry in July.

Businesses interested in exploring how they can get involved are invited to come along to the event at The Manufacturing and Technology Centre at Ansty Park on 7 July 2016 from 8:30am to 1:30pm.

The event will include presentations, face-to-face time with HS2 experts and other networking opportunities.

Participants will hear from, and get the chance to meet, the HS2 teams and industry partners responsible for a range of areas of expertise including Supply Chain, Health and Safety, Community Relations, Building Information Modelling, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Skills, Employment and Education and Environment.
