"It was the first time that we were able to network directly with Procurement personnel from housing associations and local authorities. Its helped us to understand more about the sector and I also believe its helped them to understand more about us and how we work and show them what we do. Its given us some fantastic leads.”

"We’ve been a platinum sponsor since the beginning. It’s good to meet procurement reps that we wouldn’t normally get the chance to meet. The scheduled meetings work really well as it’s guaranteed with a time slot and if there’s a problem and the HA rep isn’t able to attend the then 3D Change will organise an additional lunch time meeting on a different day"

“From a procurement prospective it’s good to meet so many local suppliers both SMEs and the larger suppliers. It helps us to put a face to the name and really get to understand and develop what companies can offer the Council. It is also reassuring to see those companies that are making a positive impact and delivering social value benefits.”

"We’ve been sponsoring for a few years now. We come back because the networking sessions with housing associations are invaluable – we’ve won contracts as a direct result so we know it works."
