By UKREiiF – the UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum – whose Advisory Group is Chaired by Lord Kerslake, brings together the public and private sectors to support the ambition for the UK to Build Back Better
The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum, better known as UKREiiF, has secured Hull and the Humber as a major exhibitor at next May’s inaugural UKREiiF conference in Leeds.
Made up of Hull City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, North Lincolnshire Council and North East Lincolnshire Council, with backing from leading businesses operating within the region including Associated British Ports, Siemens and Wykeland Group, Hull and the Humber’s delegation to UKREiiF will be focussing on the opportunities for investors across the Humber.
Cllr Daren Hale, Leader of Hull City Council, explained:
“Hull is a city on the move. Our brilliant location on the Humber means we are a gateway to much of the UK’s international trade, so attending UKREiiF and presenting our development opportunities to an audience of UK and international investors felt like a no-brainer.”
“I am delighted that Hull and the Humber will be exhibiting at UKREiiF, and I know people across the Humber are confident about the benefits further investment in our region will bring.”
Amanda Griffiths, Director of event organisers Built Environment Networking, said:
“There is now real momentum growing behind UKREiiF.”
“Having Hull and the Humber sign-up to exhibit at next May’s inaugural UKREiiF conference is a massive vote of confidence in UKREiiF, and I am thrilled that the smorgasbord of opportunities which exist across the region will be on show to the range of UK and international investors who will be attending UKREiiF.”
Dafydd Williams, Head of Policy, Communications & Economic Development (Humber) at Associated British Ports, said:
“The Humber area is one with great potential for major economic growth after Brexit.”
“With a new Freeport in the pipeline, the Humber looks set to become a hub for international trade, and so I am delighted to see Hull and the Humber will be promoting its investment opportunities at UKREiiF next year.”
Dominic Gibbons, Managing Director of Wykeland, said:
“As a Hull-based business which has invested tens of millions of pounds across the region, with developments such as Melton West and Bridgehead in East Yorkshire and the regeneration of the Fruit Market in Hull, we’re pleased to play our part in promoting the area at UKREiiF.”
“As the economy recovers strongly from the pandemic there could not be a better time to showcase all that Hull and the Humber has to offer to an audience of UK and international investors.”
Led by property events company Built Environment Networking and supported by some of the biggest UK property and infrastructure companies, the first annual UKREiiF event will be held in Leeds on 17-19 May 2022.
The forum will attract inward investment, generate economic growth and drive a more sustainable and inclusive culture within the property and construction industries.
