Welcome to the Essex Construction Alliance! Our mission is to support and empower the entire construction sector in Essex by providing regular updates, sharing members’ successes, highlighting funding opportunities, encouraging collaboration, and addressing key industry challenges like skills shortages, listen to your challenges, address key market issues, and provide the assistance businesses need to grow.

The Essex Construction Alliance is a business-led initiative offering a range of support services, including networking events, expert presentations, and collaborative opportunities.

Event history

The Essex Construction Alliance was launched in September 2023 at the Harlow Civic Centre, and has since gone from strength to strength with a string of events across the county. We have brought the biggest tier 1 companies into the same room as your ‘man in van’ businesses, forged collaborative working relationships, and even had attendee’s making it onto the Essex County Council Construction Framework.

Co-ordinated by members of the Sector Development and Skills team, the aim is to provide tailor made events for all our members based on feedback supplied by face to face conversations or surveys.

Our primary aims are to get Essex construction businesses working on Essex construction projects, to get the people of Essex upskilled in a wide array of trades, and to get our businesses collaborating to build a better Essex.
