The main contractor for the Borders Railway, BAM received a fantastic response to its meet the buyer event on Wednesday 27th February, with over 200 local companies from across Edinburgh, Midlothian and the Scottish Borders in attendance.
The event, held at the National Mining Museum in Newtongrange, provided local contractors with the opportunity to learn more about the process involved in becoming a supplier to the project. They also had the chance to meet with the project team responsible for awarding the contracts.
