At this year’s UKReiiF (UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum) event in Leeds from 16-18 May 2023, Invest in Leicester will brief potential investors about recent successes from businesses including major residential and industrial developers, Segro and Harworth Group, and from the director who led the £17 million development of an historic department store in the centre of Leicester into the upmarket Gresham Aparthotel.
The Invest in Leicester events at UKReiiF will focus on how the organisations are thriving in the region, highlighting the ingredients for success.
The session will be chaired by Mike Denby, Director of Inward Investment and Place Marketing at Leicester City Council.
Mike said: “The transformation of Leicester and Leicestershire has been significant over recent years, thanks to a strong public and private collaboration. We are delighted to be attending UKREiiF again this year, as a platform to further raising the profile of the city and county, showcasing the investment and development opportunities across the area and the strength of the collaboration between the public and private sector.”
David Cockroft, Regional Director for the Midlands at Harworth Group plc, said: “Invest in Leicester has been a trusted and valued long-term partner for Harworth. Its support has been critical to the delivery of our 2,000-home south east Coalville new community and Bardon Hill industrial and logistics scheme in the area. We look forward to working with the council at UKREiiF to showcase the huge potential of the area and the future opportunities that this will bring.”
The team will also promote its digital land and property prospectus, which highlights 40 key investment opportunities spanning the length and breadth of the city and county and ultimately, that Leicester and Leicestershire are open for business.
