Driving Sustainable Growth

How Infrastructure is Driving Sustainable Growth in the North

we’re pleased to invite you to an exclusive EYP panel discussion event focused on sustainable regeneration, as part of the wider UKREiiF week activities. This fringe event offers the opportunity to step away from the main programme and join a focused, in-depth discussion with industry peers from across the sector.

Bringing together a diverse panel of experienced professionals, the session will explore how infrastructure investment and policy can support growth across the North, with reflections on opportunities, challenges, and emerging approaches to regeneration. The conversation will be wide-ranging and interactive, with perspectives drawn from across the public and private sectors.

The session is open to professionals at all stages of their careers working in the industry, and we particularly encourage those earlier in their careers to attend.

Our Guest Panel:

  • Steven Manifold – Director, Development Consultancy, Ardent
  • Jon Riley – Partner, Head of Office (Leeds), Pinsent Masons
  • Emma Cullen – Senior Manager, Regeneration Delivery, Walker Sime
  • Liz Wells – Assistant Director, Infrastructure & Real Estate, Deloitte
     

You are also invited to join our networking drinks from 5:30pm, a chance to gather with more experienced industry professionals and start building connections before the main conference kicks off the following day. 

 

Places are limited, so please confirm your attendance by registering below
