James Dickens, Managing Director said:
"We were thrilled to be part of Team Wolves and Invest West Midlands at UKREiiF 2024. We felt well supported by Invest Wolverhampton, the West Midlands Growth Company, and City of Wolverhampton's Officers and Councillors. The effective teamwork enabled our Wolverhampton Canalside South announcement to be one of UKREiiF’s most high profile national news stories.
“We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively to spread the word about the opportunities our collection of major city centre regeneration sites will bring to the West Midlands region."
"The WSP team thoroughly enjoyed their time in Leeds supporting the West Midlands delegation at UKREiiF 2024. The opportunity to spend quality time with a huge range of key stakeholders from the region, to enjoy the company of co-professionals, to make new connections with carefully curated guests and panellists, and to hear from some of the leading lights of West Midlands built environment activity was definitely not to be missed.
"In particular, WSP was proud to chair the 'A Sporting Chance? Football as a Driver for Urban Regeneration' panel and we look forward to continuing this collaboration as we play a key role in the development of some exciting new projects across the region. A big thank you to everyone at the WMGC for their enthusiasm, support and for providing the opportunity to be part of such a successful event."
Simon Wingate, Regional Partnerships Director, said:
"Lovell has a long history of supporting local authorities at key events. Combined with our ongoing work alongside the West Midlands Growth Company to promote the growth opportunities in the West Midlands, UKREiiF was a great way of shouting about how our expertise as partners, and mixed tenure offering, can unlock and regenerate regional sites."
Stuart Penn, Regional Managing Director of Lovell Partnerships, speaks in the West Midlands Pavilion at UKREiiF 2024
"Over its three days, we found UKREiif to be a well-organised, well-attended event. It was great to see attendees from all parts of the property sector and there was representation from local authorities and government. It was great to be on The West Midlands Growth Company pavilion, which had some insightful and well-attended thought leadership and panel discussions – we were glad to be part of it. Nimbus was born out of the West Midlands as a Warwick University incubator, and we want to continue to scale up out of Birmingham, and the wider area.
"The recently released SuperTech report regarding tech startups in the West Midlands reveals there’s been a 540% increase in proptech startups in the region since 2020, reflecting that it’s full of opportunity. We want to remain a leading part of that ecosystem and continue to boost the West Midlands area."
