Property and Construction

Building a Greater Manchester

Who we are

The property and construction industry is an extremely important sector and source of employment in our region. Per year, property and construction contributes £205bn to the UK economy and £20bn to the North West economy. In Greater Manchester 95,000 people are employed in the sector, which is made up of 19,000 businesses. Greater Manchester has led the way in the UK, surpassing all growth projections.

What we do

As a group, we recognise our collective position and influence far outweighs our individual strength. That’s why we take a collaborative approach and are driven to share the value in our respective networks for the benefit of our members. We will fully exploit our unique position to exert influence at the highest level – locally, nationally and internationally – to improve the policies that shape the safety, efficiency, profitability, and sustainability of our sector.
