Nottingham assembles biggest-ever MIPIM team

Nottingham will be taking what organising are calling “its strongest team yet” to MIPIM, the world’s largest property event in France next year.

Team Nottingham is so far being supported by 31 sponsors in 2018 – the largest group to date. The combined public-private sector team will be highlighting a number of key sites and opportunities at MIPIM.

Next year’s event runs from Tuesday 13 March to Friday 16 March 2018, and is set to welcome more than 24,000 participants from 100 countries.

Lorraine Baggs, head of inward investment at Invest in Nottingham, said: “The private sector is working with the public sector and working together to target specific individuals and companies at MIPIM who we would be confident we could work with to bring forward new development schemes in Nottingham”.

This year’s Team Nottingham sponsors so far are Cartwright Communications, Code Student Accommodation, Couch Perry & Wilkes, CPMG Architects, East Midlands Airport, Elliott Wood Partnership, G F Tomlinson, Geldards, Gleeds, Godwin Developments, Henry Boot Developments, Innes England, Invest in Nottingham, John Pye, Conygar Investment Company, Leonard Design Architects, Morgan Sindall Construction, Maber, Miller Birch, Nottingham City Council, Paragon Interiors Group, RizkMcCay, Roythornes, Scape Group, Sladen Estates, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham Bid, The University of Nottingham, Willmott Dixon, Browne Jacobson and Arup.

For the second year, Nottingham will be part of the Midlands Pavilion at the property fair in Cannes next spring.

“The pavilion saw 3000 visitors through the door over the three days of MIPIM. There were 48 business events through the week and thousands of articles and features in regional and national press,” said Baggs.

She added: “While the largest number yet have signed up to take their place at MIPIM, there’s still time for other organisations to sponsor.

“We believe there is a vast amount of opportunity and we have sponsors who are very keen to get behind Nottingham at MIPIM next year.”
