Domis develops Cornish supply chain

Construction contractor Domis is hosting a ‘meet the buyer’ event to connect with local labour and supply chains ahead of its upcoming projects in Cornwall.

The event will take place at The Hotel Bristol in Newquay, Cornwall on Thursday 9^th June between 1pm and 7pm and will be open for “any relevant professionals” to attend, it said –  no registration required.
