Jessup are about to commence the first phase of the £55 million Waterfront South canal-side development within the centre of Walsall. Supported by The Think Walsall Team, Jessup are to hold a ‘Meet the Buyer Event’, where opportunities for local suppliers and sub-contractors to participate in this exciting new venture will be discussed.

Jessup have an established policy of using local suppliers and specialist sub-contractors to help support the local economy. The aim of the ‘Meet the Buyer’ Event is to bring together the developer of Waterfront South (Jessup) with key local businesses. Jessup seek to meet with representatives who could form part of the local supply chain in terms of materials and workforce. The event will provide local businesses with the opportunity to meet with Jessup in order to showcase what they can offer.

Please check the tables at the bottom of this page which detail the types of sub-contractors as well as materials and apparatus required by Jessup for the Waterfront South development.

If your business is able to provide any of the services or materials as detailed in the tables below then Jessup are keen to hear from you.

This event will enable your business to hear first hand from Jessup about their procurement policy, buying cycles, how they source goods and services and ultimately how to become a potential supplier to Jessup throughout the construction of Waterfront South. Ultimately you as a potential supplier will benefit through the opportunity to introduce your company and unique selling points direct to the developer.

The event will also provide you with an excellent networking opportunity as well as enabling you to discover a potential new market by serving the Waterfront South Development.

This event will be mutually beneficial to both local businesses and Jessup. The developers will benefit by meeting suppliers on a one-to-one basis in order to increase their knowledge of what’s available locally, sourcing new suppliers for the Waterfront South Development and being able to benchmark against existing ones.

The form is available to download and print to be returned by post to the ‘Think Walsall’ Team.
