Build North Expo Liverpool generates strong industry buzz after successful event

Build North Expo Liverpool welcomed construction professionals from across the UK, with the one-day exhibition attracting a diverse audience from every corner of the built environment and receiving its strongest response from exhibitors and visitors since the event launched.

Held at Exhibition Centre Liverpool, the expo brought together more than 70 exhibitors from across the construction supply chain.

Exhibitors represented a broad cross-section of the industry, including building materials, construction technology, recruitment, training and education, utilities, manufacturing, development and specialist construction services, highlighting the increasingly diverse nature of the modern construction landscape.

The positive feedback provided a major boost for the event as it looks forward to an expanded event programme in 2027.

Positive feedback from across the industry

Exhibitors and attendees took to social media to share their experiences of what many described as the event’s most successful edition to date.

The team at EEBS CIS Payroll commented: “What a brilliant day at Build North 2026 in Liverpool.

“The EEBS team had a fantastic time on stand 130-132 today, meeting contractors, business owners and industry professionals from across the North.

“The conversations were brilliant and it was great to connect with so many people who are passionate about the construction industry.

“Earlier in the day we also had the opportunity to take to the main stage for a live demo, which was a real highlight.”

Looking ahead

Nick Fellows, Managing Director of Crosby Associates Media, said the event had continued to build momentum by attracting a broad cross-section of the construction industry and creating a platform for meaningful business connections.

He said: “It’s been fantastic to see such a diverse mix of businesses and construction professionals come together under one roof.

“Build North Expo was created to connect the industry, and this year’s event really demonstrated the value of bringing together contractors, merchants, suppliers, developers, training providers and specialists from across the sector.

“The feedback from exhibitors and visitors has been overwhelmingly positive and many have told us this has been the best Build North Expo yet. The live Demo Stage, networking opportunities and quality of conversations throughout the day created a real buzz around the event and reinforced the importance of face-to-face engagement.

“I’d like to thank all of our exhibitors, visitors, headline sponsor- Trimble and our partners for their support.

“The success of this year’s event gives us an excellent platform to continue growing Build North Expo, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming the industry back to Liverpool and Newcastle in 2027.”
