Paul Morrell has been confirmed as the speaker at the Association for Consultancy and Engineering’s national conference. The conference will look at how to engineer the UK’s prosperity and how engineering can drive economic growth.
Paul Morrell will give a keynote speech at the end of the conference reviewing what has been discussed and debated. This will be one of Paul’s first conference speeches since being appointed the first chief construction adviser to the Government in November. The conference will look at issues such as: business opportunities in the low carbon economy, funding the UK’s future infrastructure and the future engineering workforce.
Nelson Ogunshakin, ACE’s chief executive, said: “We are delighted that Paul has agreed to speak at our key event this year. ACE welcomed Paul’s appointment when it was announced. Paul is independently-minded and exactly the person the sector needs to lead on the issues of Britain moving to a low carbon economy and addressing the challenges of procurement that ACE members, and the rest of the construction industry, face.”
