Ahead of its 10th anniversary year, the UK’s largest event for the built environment, UK Construction Week (UKCW) has announced a myriad new features and co-located shows for its London show in May 2025.
The only event designed to cater for the whole construction supply chain, UKCW London 2025 will not only be co-located with The Stone Show & Hard Surfaces for the first time in its history, but will feature an array of exciting initiatives and exclusive launches.
These include the debut of Workwear & PPE Live by PCIAW®, a dedicated show for construction clothing, footwear, and accessories, in an exclusive partnership with the Professional Clothing Industry Association Worldwide (PCIAW®).
After the success of its debut at the Birmingham show in October, UKCW London will also feature Onsite On Hire, making its return to London after 16 years. Onsite On Hire is a hire industry showcase designed to show the very best tools, compact plant and equipment exhibitors.
Another exciting feature for the show in May, and coming to UK Construction Week London for the first time, will be HVACR Live, which will see a showcase of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration solutions.
Sam Patel, Divisional Director – Construction, commented: “After a record-breaking 2024, it’s fantastic to take UKCW into its 10th year, with the London show building on that success and ongoing growth. The new co-located shows and features will reinforce UKCW’s standing as the place where the industry meets to learn, network and do business.”
UKCW London attracts over 18,000 visitors, and runs alongside The Offsite Show and Grand Designs Live, making it the largest construction trade show in the capital. The 2025 event will also feature a new VIP pass, allowing visitors to elevate their experience for just £99 per day. The new pass allows VIP guests to skip the queues with fast-track entry, relax in style in the exclusive VIP Lounge with complimentary coffee, a range of alcoholic and soft drinks, and a dedicated WiFi network throughout the day. What’s more, free parking at the venue is included in the purchase of the ticket.
Following the London show in May 2025, UKCW Birmingham returns to the NEC from 30 September to 2 October 2025.
