The Melbourne Build Expo is a unique platform for businesses to profile their innovations and connect with industry peers. UGL Senior P&C Business Partner, Rochelle Richardson attended the event and gained valuable insights into the latest trends shaping the industry.
A highlight for Rochelle was connecting with Registered Training Organisations to discuss industry priorities such as apprenticeships. “It was a fantastic opportunity to meet people and explore different approaches and offerings,” Rochelle said.
The Expo also addressed key industry topics through panel chats and fireside discussions. Of particular interest was a session on mental health and psychosocial risks in construction, where HR and safety professionals shared initiatives to support workers. “It was inspiring to hear how companies are tackling these challenges and supporting their teams,” said Rochelle.
The Expo featured a diverse range of exhibits, including stalls showcasing tools, equipment, and training solutions for the construction community. Networking opportunities were abundant, with dedicated spaces enabling visitors to engage directly with industry professionals.
Industry events like the Melbourne Build Expo offer tremendous value not just for networking but also for reinforcing a company’s brand presence. “I’ll always wear the logo proudly and take every chance to promote UGL,” said Rochelle.
