Set to take place on 17th September 2025 at the Technology and Innovation Centre, University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, the Scottish Construction Summit 2025 will include keynote speakers from Scotland and beyond, with break-out sessions to consider the Commercial Model, Recruitment & Retention, Sustainability, and Digitalisation in depth. 

Glasgow-based Valorem First has extensive industry expertise across business transformation, technology implementations, managed services, and project delivery. It specialises in several key sectors, including construction, manufacturing, social housing, and waste management.

For Ricky Milliken, the company is honoured to play a leading role in fostering dialogue and shaping a brighter, more resilient future for Scottish construction.

“Valorem First is proud to sponsor the Scottish Construction Summit, an event that promises to drive meaningful change within the construction industry,” he said. “As a sponsor, we are committed to uncovering true value within organisations—prioritising investments that matter, adapting to evolving needs, and equipping teams with the right skills to thrive.”

Rickay added: “We firmly believe that technology is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s an enabler that supports organisations in navigating transformation and unlocking opportunities. Through our sponsorship, we aim to foster conversations that inspire innovation, adaptability, and a focus on people and processes that deliver tangible value.

“The summit serves as a powerful platform to delve deeper into these critical concepts. From evaluating digital maturity to identifying where genuine value lies, the conversations will enable businesses to pinpoint strategic priorities that deliver measurable results. By fostering the development of essential digital skills across industries, we have achieved an average 8% boost in productivity for clients and a 23% improvement in operational efficiency. Our expertise helps clients streamline operations, uncover efficiencies, and seize new growth opportunities.

“Adapting to the evolving demands of the construction sector is essential, and prioritising the digitisation of operations is a key step forward. This focus not only enhances efficiency but also addresses a crucial challenge—attracting talent to the industry. With 31,000 new recruits needed in Scotland alone, digitisation can play a pivotal role in making the sector more appealing and future-ready. We firmly believe that you need to digitise to survive. 

“This landmark event is a unique opportunity to shape the future of Scotland’s construction industry. Valorem First is proud to partner with Scottish Construction Now to champion collaboration, innovation, and sustainability across the sector.

“We look forward to sharing key insights and engaging in thought-provoking dialogue during the summit. Together, we can build a stronger, more impactful future for construction in Scotland. Make sure you save the date!”
