About the group

CAPSIG works to develop the understanding and impact of effective PR in the construction and property sectors, to promote best practice and to provide a forum for communication.

Industry-related educational and networking events take place throughout the year, across a wide range of topics. Recently, this has included best practice in public consultations, communicating social value and how PR can help address the industry’s skills shortage.

The group often attracts high profile speakers including industry leaders and national and trade press correspondents and has conducted a series of site visits and architectural walks, combining informal networking with relevant sector insight.

Anyone interested in finding out more should email our joint Chairs, Cathy Barlow and Paul Calahan.
