Ipswich: Shaping the Future Workforce

Join us on 13 October for a deep dive into the Ipswich construction sector, exploring how the industry is tracking today and where it is headed next.

As residential and infrastructure investment accelerates across Ipswich, delivering this growth will place increasing demand on local construction capacity, skilled labour, and supply chains. Join us to understand how the labour market is adapting, and what this means for Ipswich’s project pipeline.

Russell Luhrs from Springfield City Group will share front-line insights into the region’s major projects, including the workforce and supply challenges being experienced on the ground, and how industry can respond.

Paul David from Hutchinson Builders, will share his perspective on the expected pipeline of residential and industrial developments across the region, and what this means for the construction sector ahead.

Matthew Taylor-Farrington from the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce, will then join for a panel discussion to share his insights on the workforce challenges facing the region, and explore how industry can support Ipswich’s long-term growth.

Gain practical insights to help your business prepare for the opportunities emerging across the region.
