The Crafter’s Companion founder will share her entrepreneurial journey and insights as a keynote speaker on the second day of the event (8th May), focusing on product innovation, design, and manufacturing. Sara will participate in a panel discussion alongside innovation leaders and venture capitalists, including Hannah Haeffner of Tarmac and Scott Marshall from Property Elevator and Roma Finance.

Sara adds to an already notable roster of speakers at UKCW London, which includes ex-England footballer Trevor Steven, MP Andrew Lewer, architect George Clarke, Ron Lang from Atkins Réalis, and Michaela Wain, a champion for women in construction and owner of Design and Build UK.

Sam Patel, Divisional Director – Construction, commented: “To secure Sara as a speaker at UKCW is a major coup - her business nous and words of wisdom will be invaluable for so many business leaders, young talent and emerging innovators who will be visiting UK Construction Week from across the built environment sector - I can’t wait to hear what she has to say.”

UKCW London will see a myriad new features for 2024, including the debut of a new Live Demo Theatre; Skills and Training Hub; a construction-specific Recruitment Zone; new C-Suite Summits; a ‘Gumball Rally’ which finishes at UKCW London; a host of international exhibitors housed in pavilions from Italy, India, China, Turkey, Czech Republic, Poland, and Latvia.
