Join us at our new Wigan depot for North West Tech Day.
The event brings together the latest developments in GPS machine control, safety systems and digital technologies, with practical demonstrations from our technology partners. This will also be the first public opportunity to explore our purpose‑built facility. Catering will be available on site throughout the day.
Meeting rooms and hot‑desk spaces will also be available on request for visitors who need a dedicated workspace during the event.
