Nottingham unveils MIPIM team
Team Nottingham has unveiled what it is calling its “biggest ever” private sector-led line-up to travel to the MIPIM commercial property event in Cannes next March.
Team Nottingham members will take their place in a delegation of hundreds at MIPIM representing both the East and West Midlands in the first ever Midlands Pavilion – a marquee which will exclusively showcase the Midlands region.
Anthony Cork of local property and construction consultants Gleeds said: “MIPIM has always been an important event for the city of Nottingham and one I feel we are capitalising on by forming one of our strongest teams yet and taking part in an important year when we take our place in the Midlands Pavilion. Our focus will be showcasing Nottingham’s past, present and future and promoting what our constantly evolving and innovative city has to offer”.
Nottingham’s private sector sponsors and partners will include: Boots, property law specialists Brady Solicitors, environmental building services consultancy Couch Perry Wilkes, CPMG Architects, East Midlands Airport, Equus Estates (Inside Land), property consultants FHP, contractor G F Tomlinson, international property and construction consultancy Gleeds, Godwin Developments, Henry Boot Developments, property consultants Innes England, PR and digital agency Cartwright Communications, architects practice Maber, creative agency RizkMcCay, Sladen Estates, law firm Geldards, contractor Willmott Dixon, developer Miller Birch, framework organisation and Scape. The delegation will be led by Invest in Nottingham and Nottingham City Council.
Lorraine Baggs, head of inward investment at Invest in Nottingham, said: “It’s of huge benefit to the city to have so many important Nottingham businesses part of Team Nottingham this year. There has been significant regeneration activity in the city since MIPIM 2016 and we look forward keeping up the momentum and building upon it by meeting key contacts and showcasing the investment opportunities in the region.
“Being part of the Midlands Pavilion this year alongside our Midlands neighbours is also a great opportunity for Nottingham to make more of an impact. It will mean we get an increase in visitors to the stand, resulting in more investment enquiries.”
Clare Brady, whose firm Brady Solicitors is a first-time sponsor of MIPIM, said: “The opportunity to be part of Team Nottingham and help support the city as it takes its place on the world’s stage was key to our decision. We felt it was the ideal time – particularly because it will be the first ever Midlands Pavilion in 2017. We are excited to see what’s in store for the city as well as us as a business.”
MIPIM 2017 takes place from 14-17 March 2017.
