Inaugural Dinner To Launch Edinburgh Construction Club

Over two hundred representatives from the property and construction industry will gather tonight for an inaugural dinner to celebrate the launch of the Edinburgh Construction Club.

Young professionals including surveyors, architects, agents, engineers, developers, advisers and funders, will come together for the first in a series of entertaining networking events to share the latest news on Edinburgh's thriving property economy.

Founder of the club is Paul Thomson, Director of Structural Design Consultants, an engineering consultancy advising commercial and residential developers.

He said: "A number of my colleagues were complaining that we needed a new informal networking event for emerging property professionals which would help boost business. So we decided to launch the Edinburgh Construction Club.

"We planned for around 50 people for our first event and now have 200. It has been more than enthusiastically welcomed by our young members who are all looking for an entertaining networking event with like minded people who can share ideas, advice and contacts."
