Gareth Hooper said of the new organisation: “We are very proud to be launching The
Construction Club Cambria to our sector colleagues. We wanted to create a Club
where we can network, share industry best practice, as well as hold events,
seminars and webinars where lasting business collaborations can be made.
“The great thing about organisations such as The Construction Club Cambria, is that
we can also do all of this while raising money for good local causes. For our
inaugural year we have decided that our charity of the year will be Make a Wish and
so all of our charitable funds from our first event will be going there.”
Gareth added: “If anyone would like to learn more about The Construction Club
Cambria and how to get involved in our charitable work and events, then please just
drop us a line in the contact form on the website.”
An Autumn Lunch, which is The Construction Club Cambria’s inaugural event, will
take place on Friday 24 th October at the Parkgate Hotel in Cardiff, sponsored by
Cambria Consulting and Gleeds, where the Club will be raising money for the Make
A Wish charity, with entertainment provided by The Noise Next Door.
