The UK's Largest Roads and Highways Trade Show is Celebrating its 10 Year Anniversary!

Women in Transport is once again pleased to be a partner of Highways UK as we celebrate our respective 20 year and 10 year anniversaries. The event takes place at the NEC in Birmingham on the 15th & 16th October.

Highways UK sees more than 360+ exhibitors showcasing new ways of thinking and novel partnerships to generate solutions. This year, the exhibition continues to grow with an expected 10,000+ attendees over two days.

Across the exhibition there is something for every stage of the highways supply chain, from innovative materials and asset management technology to digital construction software and kerbside management systems.

We invite you to join us and exchange ideas, build your brand, form new connections and partnerships, grow your professional network, explore the future, and uncover new opportunities alongside us.
