As a growing community of over 300 members consisting of government, local authorities, national organisations, supply chain, academia and associations, we are actively facilitating positive change and innovation in the highways sector. Our mission, centred around collaboration, innovation, skills, and a dedicated commitment to decarbonisation in the highways sector, facilitates positive change within the highways community and among our members. We act as a vital link between central and local government, the supply chain, and the wider highways community. With a membership of over 300 and a circulation list of over 9,000, we reach individuals who are working across the sector, including Civil Servants and local authority representatives ranging from Directors, Assistant Directors, Heads of Service, Asset Managers and Engineers.
