AECB Greater Manchester Launch Event

To all low energy enthusiasts, you are invited to the launch event for a new AECB chapter in Greater Manchester.

The aim of the group is to bring together like minded construction industry professionals in the region within a supportive and progressive environment. There will be opportunities to learn, network and share ideas across a range of topics, all with the aim of furthering our knowledge and skills in environmentally conscious construction.
