BRE Academy at UK Construction Week 2025
BRE Academy proudly exhibited at UK Construction Week from 7–9 May 2025 at London’s ExCeL, drawing in large crowds and generating valuable conversations around the future of the built environment. Visitors to Stand D719 had the chance to speak directly with BRE experts, explore the Academy’s full range of training courses — including BREEAM, BIM, Sustainability, and Fire & Safety.
BRE Academy showcased their full range of training courses. The event served as an ideal platform for face-to-face engagement with professionals seeking to upskill in an evolving construction landscape where quality, resilience, and compliance are more critical than ever.
A highlight of BRE’s presence was its panel discussion on 8 May, titled “Enhancing the Built Environment in the Digital Age”. Led by Alison Nicholl, Head of Constructing Excellence at BRE, the session explored how information management and digital transformation can drive smarter decision-making across the sector.
The expert panel included Mike Tofton, BIM & Digital Construction Lead at BRE Academy; Virginia Cinquemani, BREEAM Trainer; Mohammad Shana’a, CEO of Morta; and Lilian Ho, Associate Director at AECOM. Together, they unpacked the challenges and opportunities of digital construction, concluding that the real value of information management lies with those who actively and effectively use it.
Reflecting on the event, Polly Wilkinson, Head of BRE Academy, commented:
UK Construction Week was a fantastic opportunity for us to engage directly with professionals from across the industry. From packed conversations at our stand to a thought-provoking panel session, the event truly showcased the appetite for digital innovation and quality education in construction. In a rapidly evolving sector, the need for expert-led training isn't just growing—it's essential. That's why BRE Academy exists: to empower professionals with the knowledge they need to lead the way.
