With a drive to marry estate rationalisation with innovation in buildings, the conference will focus on sharing best practice within the sector, whilst connecting emergency services to the private sector to align on their plans. More than 25 speakers will discuss and present at the event including:

  • Office of Police & Crime Commissioner
  • Office of Government Property
  • One Public Estate
  • National Police Estates Group
  • Fire & Rescue Services; Staffordshire, Cheshire, Nottinghamshire, Avon & Somerset
  • Police Services; Cheshire, West Mercia & Warwickshire, Plymouth & Southampton, North Yorkshire, Dyfed-Powys, West Yorkshire, Devon & Cornwall, Avon & Somerset, Hampshire
  • Devon & Cornwall Constabulary
  • Hampshire Constabulary

Keith Griffiths, Managing Director at Built Environment Networking, said: ‘’We’re excited to be holding the first ever Blue Light Estates event and we have already received phenomenal interest and feedback from those across the industry in taking part in the event. Police, Ambulance and Fire Services are being asked to rationalise their estates and services are at different stages of their strategy. This conference will allow best practice and previous barriers to be shared and discussed to help those who’re at the beginning of their journey whilst connecting the services with others from the public and private sector to align and collaborate.’’
