Join us for the 2026 Meet the Buyer Construction Expo

The Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber is set to host its Meet the Buyer – Construction Expo on 11 February 2026, from 9:30am to 12:30pm in the Peter Elliott Suite at the Holiday Inn Rotherham, proudly sponsored by Equans.

This event provides a unique opportunity for businesses in the construction sector to connect directly with buyers, explore new suppliers, and create partnerships that support growth across the South Yorkshire region.

Attending delegates gain direct access to decision-makers actively seeking new products, services, and solutions. Every conversation offers the potential to form long-term collaborations, secure contracts, or identify suppliers that can improve project outcomes. By meeting buyers face-to-face, businesses can engage in meaningful discussions that deliver immediate value, avoiding the delays and uncertainties of traditional networking or online searches.

Exhibitors benefit from the event’s focused nature, presenting their expertise and services to a highly relevant audience. With a concentrated gathering of buyers, contractors, and professional service providers, the Expo ensures that each interaction has a practical purpose, enabling businesses to showcase innovations, raise their profile, and generate commercial opportunities that have a direct impact on growth.

Delegates also gain insights into regional construction trends, upcoming projects, and procurement plans, equipping them with knowledge to make informed decisions and remain competitive. The event’s structure allows for productive engagement, ensuring participants leave with actionable contacts and new opportunities to enhance their business operations.

Shane Young, Operations Director at Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, said:

“This Expo is about making connections that matter. It brings together suppliers and buyers in a way that accelerates business growth, supports the regional construction sector, and helps our members build partnerships that have real impact.”

Past events have attracted over 100 businesses, fostering a dynamic environment where networking leads to tangible results. Exhibitors and attendees alike benefit from the curated audience, targeted conversations, and practical outcomes that can translate into immediate business development and long-term regional impact.
