People designing spaces for people
We're excited to be returning to UKREiiF, the UK’s Real Estate, Investment and Infrastructure Forum, from 19–22 May, with our largest cohort to date.
You'll find us at Stand A22 in New Dock Hall, where our team will be on hand to talk about our projects and a diverse range of our sectors from heritage to residential to Passivhaus schemes. You'll also see us here and there at various events both inside and outside the exhibition, including our very first fringe event.
Following the success of last year’s event, we’re looking forward to reconnecting, showcasing our work, and taking part in a range of fringe events, including hosting our first one.
It’s been an exciting few months at Buttress, and we’re keen to share what we’ve been up to.
Why don't you get in touch? Our Buttress team would love to connect, whether it's over a coffee, lunch or even a tour around our Leeds studio.
