“Constructing the Region”
Campaigning and lobbying for the region’s contractors
We play a strategic role in supporting and promoting the North East’s competent and capable SME contractors. We lobby Government, MPs, local authorities and other procurement organisations, to remind them of the wider benefits to our region’s economy of working with North East firms. We campaign to raise awareness and to create a level playing field to allow local companies to win more work.

CAN is a unique alliance. We focus on working collaboratively with each other and external organisations for the sole benefit of the region’s contractors. The four organisations which make up CAN are the Northern Counties Builders Federation, Civil Engineering Contractors Association, the Federation of Master Builders, and the National Federation of Builders. As a collective, the board meets regularly to proactively engage at a strategic level with those involved in the North East construction sector.
