GEO Business and Class of Your Own Launch GEO Careers

It would seem there is little understanding of professions within the built environment and few young people aspire to a career in this important sector of the British and global economy.

Working alongside Alison Watson from Class of Your Own (COYO), they have together developed a full day of enticing activities and presentations for students aged 14-19, with the aim of demonstrating just how exciting the...

Balance and Buzz - GEO Business 2018

Without a doubt, this year’s GEO Business was the biggest and best yet. The heart of the event is the exhibition and this year there were 203 exhibitors from 25 countries.

The one day conference featured some high profile speakers, there were 19 seminars covering a wide range of topics, and getting on for 100 exhibitor workshops. The workshops enabled potential customers to hear more detail on exhibitors’ products, but with these the objective is ultimately to sell. For those who were looking for something more independent there were the... (read more)
