Companies confirm MIPIM support

Several private sector companies have today announced their support of Leeds City Region’s upcoming MIPIM delegations.

Full service law firm Bond Dickinson and independent national planning consultancy Pegasus Group are joining the city region’s MIPIM delegations for the first time. MIPIM UK and MIPIM 2018, property and investment conferences, will be hosted in London during October and Cannes in March.   

CEG, the developer of Kirkstall Forge, and international law firm Addleshaw Goddard have also confirmed their involvement once again. They are the latest of several previously announced City Region supporters, including Scarborough International Properties, Town Centre Securities, Munroe K and Caddick Group.

Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership organises the city region’s presence at MIPIM UK and MIPIM. Roger Marsh OBE, chair, said: “It’s fantastic to welcome first time supporters Bond Dickinson and Pegasus Group to our growing delegation.

“I look forward to working together to emphasise to the influential audience that Leeds City Region is already delivering significant returns to investors, continuing to attract major occupiers with brands such as Burberry and Sky continuing to grow their presence in the region.”

Jon Kenny, development director of CEG, added: “CEG is supporting Leeds City Region at MIPIM 2018 because it is essential the city is profiled on an international stage. The South Bank regeneration area has the potential to double the size of Leeds City Centre over the next few decades, providing high quality office, retail and leisure space, as well as homes to support the growing economy.

“This, coupled with HS2 and HS3, mean the city could enter a new era of unprecedented economic prosperity.”
