Maylim announces 'Meet the Buyer' event for Pier Gardens regeneration project

Maylim, Pier Gardens' regeneration contractor, will host a Meet the Buyer event in Cleethorpes on Monday 23 March, 11am to 3pm, at Cleethorpes Town Hall - inviting local suppliers, subcontractors and businesses to learn more about opportunities connected to the exciting project.

The event will give businesses a clear understanding of the work packages, materials, services and skills required for the project, while outlining how to work with Maylim and get involved over the next 15 months. Attendees will have the chance to meet the project team, discuss upcoming procurement needs and explore partnership opportunities.

The session will open with a short introduction from the Maylim team before attendees are invited to visit four themed stalls:

Stall 1 – About Maylim: An overview of the company, its experience delivering public realm projects, and the vision for Pier Gardens.

Stall 2 – Procurement (Local Suppliers): A breakdown of materials and service categories Maylim will be sourcing locally where possible, including general building products, aggregates, concrete, office supplies, plant, site equipment and maintenance, workwear and PPE, tools, printing, transport, accommodation, and IT.

Stall 3 – Subcontractors: Information on upcoming subcontracting opportunities including bricklaying, soft maintenance, rendering, carpentry, electrical work, groundworks and paving.

Stall 4 – Work Placements & Careers: Guidance on skills, training routes and future opportunities across engineering, electrical work, and soft landscaping.

A spokesperson for the project said: "We are committed to supporting local businesses and ensuring the community benefits from this major investment in Cleethorpes. This event is a chance for suppliers and trades to understand what’s coming up, ask questions directly and explore how we can work together as the project progresses.”

Cllr Philip Jackson, the Leader of North East Lincolnshire Council with Portfolio Holder responsibilities for regeneration, added: “Pier Gardens is a showcase scheme that will transform a central part of our wonderful and growing resort. As a result, it was right that we went out nationally to secure a main contractor and we are confident that Maylim brings with it the vision, and the ambition to deliver something very special.

"With that decision came a desire and a commitment to involve local people and local businesses in any other way possible – providing opportunities across North East Lincolnshire. I do hope that we see many interested people coming along to the event and looking at how they can be involved.”

The Meet the Buyer event is part of a wider programme of engagement planned throughout the construction period, including monthly business walk‑arounds and regular project updates.

Local businesses, suppliers and tradespeople are encouraged to attend and are welcome to share the invitation with others who may be interested.

Further details and registration information will be shared by Maylim and North East Lincolnshire Council in the coming days.
