Teeing up for a greener future as Marlborough Highways’ Meet the Buyer & Charity Golf Day returns

  • By Marlborough Highways

After the success of 2022’s inaugural event, Marlborough Highways is excited to announce that its Meet the Buyer Day will return to Wanstead Golf Club in East London on Tuesday 26 September 2023. The theme of this year’s event is ‘Green Solutions’, with new and existing suppliers invited to showcase their latest products and services to a captive audience. The Marlborough team are particularly interested in innovations that will help them to operate in a more sustainable way, as part of the organisation’s ambitious commitment to go Carbon Neutral by 2025. The morning session will be followed by an optional Charity Golf Day, in support of the mental health charity, Mind.

Kicking off at 8:30am, the day will provide companies based in London and the South East with the opportunity to introduce their eco-friendly products to key decisionmakers and learn more about Marlborough’s procurement process. The session, which is free to attend and includes breakfast and a buffet lunch, represents Marlborough’s commitment to work with local businesses based in the locations in which it operates.

Attendees are also invited to a complementary charity golf match immediately following the Meet the Buyer event. Teeing off at 1pm, guests will be able to enjoy a relaxed game of golf. Players will have the option to support the company’s chosen charity Mind, by donating on the dedicated Marlborough Highways Just Giving page.

Marlborough knows that operating in a sustainable way is vital for the well-being of the planet, its clients, and the communities in which it serves. The event will allow the company to improve its supply chain and to establish new relationships with organisations that share in its commitment to protecting the environment and to decarbonising the highways industry.

Matthew Revell, Managing Director at Marlborough Highways said, “Following the incredible success of last year’s event, we are eagerly anticipating an even bigger and better Meet the Buyer Day this September. As we continue to expand and diversify our supply chain, our goal is to build stronger relationships with forward-thinking businesses that share in our vision, to enable us to support our clients  and improve the communities that we serve. This promises to be a fantastic day and I am really pleased that through our golf day, we can also support the charity Mind.”

“One of the things I value most is their very collaborative and transparent team culture. It makes a big difference to have a contractor that wants to work closely with us and is supportive and responsive. With Marlborough, I get a team who are attentive, work collaboratively and honestly with me and don’t lose focus on delivering first class communications and compliance.”
Carly Norris, Project Manager Operations, Hackney Council
“From the design stage, Marlborough has been fundamental in delivering the Broad Lane Square improvements scheme. During the works, not only did the team manage to keep to the programme, but they went the extra mile to ensure attention to detail and came up with innovative solutions to address issues encountered on site. My thanks on behalf of Haringey goes out to Marlborough for their dedication to deliver.”
Dana Rasheed, Project Manager, Haringey Council
“Working alongside our Term Service Contractor Marlborough Highways, we successfully completed renovations to the Crowstone Footbridge. The designs were provided by Marlborough, and the work was unique. The scheme was completed to budget and ahead of its programme duration.”
Neil Handley, Senior Engineer, Southend-on-Sea City Council
“I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts, the Marlborough crews were professional, courteous, and hard working all day and ensured the event went without a hitch. You and the team were a credit to the company, demonstrating commitment and support to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.”
Nick Davies, Specialist Services Manager, Barking and Dagenham Council
“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Marlborough Highways over the last six months. The quality of work is superb, and there has been some excellent collaboration between Milestone and Marlborough to complete, what at times, has been quite a challenging scheme. I hope to work with Marlborough on another project in the near future.”
Colin Hill, Schemes Manager, Milestone Infrastructure
“Marlborough worked with us in constructing a 1.3km cycle track. There were a number of technical difficulties to overcome, and their gifted foreman worked to propose some innovative solutions to the challenges we faced. The result is a facility that the locals are proud of, providing walkers and cyclists with alternative access to the hospital and nearby school. The scheme was a lot of hard work, but well worth it.”
Rob Venables, NEC Project Manager, Essex County Council
“Marlborough attracts people who take care and have pride in their work. Several gangs of Operatives worked tirelessly for six months to reconstruct drainage networks, lay more than 3km of high quality bespoke granite kerbs and granite channels blocks to ensure positive drainage. The technical compliance, attention to detail and level of quality finish along the entire carriageway was exceptional”.
Mark Chiverrell, Technical Director, Project Centre
“We saw huge benefits in appointing Marlborough as our full service contractor and we’re impressed – they’ve delivered consistent high quality service and superior quality control across every project. Marlborough, provide us with a ‘one-stop’ shop solution – we get the same quality of service and better control across all aspects of the project.”
Darren Bryant, Principal Engineer, Enfield Council
