HVAC+R show “co-locates” with UK Construction Week

UK: The HVAC+R Live show, previously promoted with dates in April, has now been rescheduled to take place alongside UK Construction Week London in May.

The HVAC+R event, which last took place at ExCel in 2023, was initially planned to be repeated in April 2024 but the organiser, Datateam Business Media, subsequently pushed the dates back to 9-10 April 2025 at Excel. Now the show has been “co-located” with UK Construction Week London at Excel from 7-9 May.

UK Construction Week London has been held annually at ExCeL since 2022. Organised by Media 10, UK Construction Week runs twice per year – in London in May and Birmingham in October at the NEC, Birmingham. 

The London event, which is expected to attract around 18,000 visitors, is dubbed as the only event designed to cater for the whole construction supply chain. In addition to the HVAC+R show, it will also include Workwear & PPE Live, Onsite On Hire, a showcase of the latest tools and machinery, as well as international pavilions from Italy, China and Turkey. 

“Partnering with Datateam Business Media allows us to bring unmatched expertise and resources to this event,” commented UK Construction Week divisional director Sam Patel. “Together, we are creating a platform that showcases the essential role HVAC and refrigeration play in modern construction and net zero initiatives.”

“This collaboration allows us to call upon our industry expertise to continue providing a dedicated platform for HVAC and refrigeration businesses,“ said Datateam media director Paul Ryder.
