Contractors, suppliers and trades from Berwick, the Scottish Borders and surrounding areas are being invited to meet the Advance Northumberland and Ascent Homes teams and find out about future collaborative opportunities.

Representatives from Ascent Homes, the house-building arm of Advance Northumberland, will be available at The Castle Hotel in Berwick on Thursday, May 22 between 8.30am and 10am to discuss future projects that will be available for local trades and suppliers.

Ascent Homes is already present in the area as the construction partner with Bernicia, delivering 56 homes being built near Berwick town centre.

Richard Lindsay, Ascent Homes head of commercial, said: “This is an ideal opportunity for local trades and connections to come along and meet our team informally face-to-face, to catch up over a coffee, and find out how they can get involved in our exciting plans for the future.”
