Patrons back ProCon Leicestershire in 2017

The work of the ProCon Leicestershire property and construction network is being supported throughout 2017 by 11 Patrons.

New Patrons for 2017 are: the legal advisers Allardice Associates; contractor Danaher & Walsh; property and construction consultants Ridge; and design, property and construction consultancy TMDP Group.

Seven previous Patrons are continuing their support: Harborough-based Corporate Architecture; consulting engineers Diamond Wood and Shaw; professional services provider MDA Consulting; law firm Howes Percival, approved inspectors Salus; manufacturer Unique Window Systems; and contractor Willmott Dixon.

The backing of the businesses, including many based in Leicestershire, enables the 17-year-old organisation to put on its series of events throughout the year for its 500-plus members.

The first event of 2017 was a tour of De Montfort University’s new Vijay Patel Building and Castle Business School. Attendance at ProCon events can form part of professionals’ CPD (Continuing Professional Development).

The Patrons’ support also helps sustain ProCon’s website which provides a platform for individual members and firms to connect with each other and to share news and views.

ProCon chair Pam Allardice said: “We thank our Patrons for their invaluable support, which enables ProCon to continue to develop and to be an organisation which offers a superb service at great value to its members.”
