Welcome to Cornwall Group

Who are we and what do we do?

The AECB Cornwall Group has been dormant for a few years, but we’re excited to relaunch in 2025. Our mission is to bring together local expertise, fostering the exchange of ideas and deepening understanding to drive the most sustainable built solutions. We’re looking forward to forging new relationships with like-minded local members and seeing the good work that they are doing. Suggestions please for future events.
