From the 4th – 6th of October 2022, a team from Cubiquity got their hardhats and high-vis jackets ready to exhibit at the UK Construction Week (UKCW) – UK’s largest event for the built environment at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham from 4th to 6th October 2022, constructing great relationships.
The construction industry is ever evolving – and this year’s UKCW reflected that, with the thr
ee-day show highlighting the biggest issues, including sustainability, culture change, diversity, skills, fire safety, offsite manufacturing, mental health, and improving diversity and inclusion. It was officially opened by architect and Channel 4 presenter George Clarke and had dedicated sections with focus on Future Lab, Building materials, Digitalisation, Infrastructure, Energy, HVAC, Surface & Materials, Timber, Offsite Construction and Skills & Careers.
Cubiquity had some exciting and insightful few days last week, constructing great relationships in the industry, with visitors and exhibitors discussing how sustainable print solutions can help organisations meet their own ESG targets. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to stand out amongst the crowd to showcase our offerings, including our ESG focussed print management services and gifting solutions. Cubiquity have a wealth of experience working alongside some of the industry’s biggest names, and are considered communications experts within the construction field, so our combination of industry expertise and sourcing knowledge allowed us to hold some meaningful discussions with the exhibition visitors.
Zeroing in on true sustainability
UKCW showcased latest building methods and innovation which can help the construction industry get to net zero. With an increasing number of areas emerging which pertain to sustainability in the industry, Cubiquity and their sister creative design agency BigKid were excited to display proven sustainable print procurement credentials, demonstrating how our operations and unrivalled product range including seasonal gifting solutions can assist construction companies improve their ESG impact.
We work closely with few leading UK housebuilders including Taylor Wimpey to design creative and intelligent solutions to manage their marketing, gifting, and operational procurement budgets.
Through our ESG solution ‘RISE’, we empower our customers, colleagues and suppliers to create positive social and sustainable change. From an intelligent sourcing strategy to complete management of the procurement process, to efficient distribution of deliverables, we assist building environmental solutions for professionals and stakeholders to maximise opportunities and achieve net-zero leading to holistically achieve sustainable outcomes.
To further enhance our environmentally friendly approach, we challenged our teams to create a totally sustainable and impactful exhibition stand that backed up our mission to create real change. The end result was a 100% sustainable and zero-waste stand, which was a perfect example of sustainable construction!
Every material, feature and furnishing was carefully selected and designed to ensure it can be reused, repurposed, or recycled. Plastic is kept to a minimum – in fact, our stand is 100% plastic-free! And the vinyl turf flooring has already been earmarked to be reused.
Even the give-away Eco Nature Hampers were made from recycled materials included bird boxes and feeders, insect hotels, wildflower seeds, and a range of natural beeswax-based products.
These initiatives engaged stand visitors to recognise how we can produce and supply items in a more eco-friendly manner, as we know that Sustainability is at the forefront of a lot of businesses plans and we want to help to fulfil these needs using our RISE initiative.
