Greater Manchester Chamber has a thriving community of over 600 members operating in the Property and Construction sector, not to mention the wider business network who engage with us each year. We support the sector to develop supply-chains, create sustainable practices, and meet other industry leaders through specific regional Construction Clubs.
Our Clubs have been developed by Greater Manchester Chamber, private sector companies and respective local Councils. The aim is to introduce businesses to construction opportunities in the local areas and explain the tendering process. We also offer access to market insight and intelligence – such as the latest industry trends, economic survey data and of course, our Construction Pipeline Analysis.
The Chamber can offer you direct introductions to main contractors, developers and the local authorities. We know having a strong and diverse supply chain is business critical – and we can support those introductions on your behalf. A well-managed supply chain can help you to reduce costs, enhance quality control, manage risk and improve your project timelines.

This can include the building’s significance to the City Region, its impact on the local economy, its effect on the local community, its importance in terms of urban regeneration, design excellence, or contribution to urban design. 2023 entries opened on 29 September.

Local Skills Improvement Plan
We’re looking for construction businesses to contribute to our research for the next stage of the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) for GM. The Chamber is delivering this project on behalf of the Department for Education and the aim is to highlight the skills shortages and recruitment difficulties affecting businesses in the construction sector within Greater Manchester, then work with skills providers to help bridge these gaps. If you’d like to share your views, please contact Jo, via gmlsip@gmchamber.co.uk.
Property and Construction Industry Team
The activity, events and campaigns are shaped by our Property and Construction Group, comprised of industry professionals and experts who are joined-up thinkers, thought leaders, policy shapers, cause fighters, door openers and change-makers.
