UKREiiF 2025: How Atkins Search is Shaping the Future of Construction Recruitment 

Atkins Search proudly participated in UKREiiF 2025,  a landmark event that brought together over 16,000 professionals from across the UK’s property, construction, and infrastructure sectors to share ideas and drive real net zero, sustainability and social value progress across the UK. Held in the heart of Leeds, this forum was a dynamic hub for collaboration, innovation, and strategic partnerships. 

 
Why UKREiiF Matters for Construction Recruitment 

For leading construction recruitment agencies in the UK, events like UKREiiF are pivotal moments to engage with top talent, construction industry thought leaders, and forward-thinking organisations on the regeneration and revitalisation on construction.
 
Atkins Search has always believed that collaboration drives real progress. That’s why being part of UKREiiF 2025 allowed us to deepen relationships and start new conversations with clients, candidates, and strategic partners across the built environment sector.

Atkins Search played an active role in several fringe networking events, including: 

• Co-hosting lunch with Stepnell where professionals from across the sector connected over a delicious 3 course meal in a vibrant yet relaxed setting. 

• Evening networking with MDA Consultancy and EDGE, where drinks were consumed and conversations flowed!
