Welcome to the Q3 issue of BUILD Magazine. As always, we endeavour to be your source for all the latest news and features from across the global construction and property industries. For the penultimate issue of the year we’ve decided to shine a spotlight on the work of those firms who play a vital, though perhaps overlooked, role on the greater construction landscape.

Consider the role of protective clothing, or security services. Both are vital elements for the seamless day to day running of any building site. Here, we profile Leon Boots, who have become renowned in the sphere for their innovation-first ethos in footwear protection. Using EVA over rubber, they can guarantee that their products are lighter, more comfortable and more durable than popular alternatives.

When it comes to security services, V360 Systems have swiftly differentiated themselves for their diligent and cutting-edge solutions. We spoke with V360’s Director, Neil Dudley, to find out more about their expertise and services as they start to prepare their expansion into new markets and offices around the UK.

Meanwhile, the team here at BUILD magazine sincerely hope that you enjoy reading this issue. We hope to hear from you soon.
