A new seminar for 2019, Utility Connections will take place at Warwick Conferences, Warwick University on 27 June, providing an overview and update on issues facing the utility connections sector. With recognition of the need to secure the UK's future energy supplies, this event will consider the impact of disruptive market changes to this sector along with other influencing factors.

The sector is closely aligned with construction output and housebuilding and in common with other construction sectors, has become characterised by increasing competition as contractors compete for workloads. The event will consider the challenges for electricity connections, gas connections, water connections, as well as telecoms with the move towards ultrafast broadband and the launch of 5G connections.
