Discover how your business can become part of Heathrow’s dynamic supply chain at this virtual Meet the Buyer event.
The world’s best-connected airport, handling over 84 million passengers a year, Heathrow is the UK’s gateway to the world and a vital piece of strategic infrastructure. With a total supply chain spend of £2.3 billion last year, including over £1 billion in capital investment, the opportunities on offer at Heathrow are enormous.
Between 2027-31 it plans to invest £10 billion to modernise and expand its infrastructure, creating significant opportunities for businesses in Suffolk and the surrounding area. As the UK’s only hub airport, Heathrow is a gateway to global trade—and its supply chain is central to delivering world-class passenger experiences and sustainable growth.
As it begins to mobilise for expansion, Heathrow is looking to grow its supplier base – especially with innovative, agile businesses that can help deliver future-ready solutions.
Suffolk is no stranger to large scale infrastructure projects, most notably Sizewell C, and we are looking for local businesses to join us to meet with Heathrow’s procurement team, to find out more about the improvements how your businesses help achieve this.
