Sunny prospects for city as it hits the global stage

THE last few weeks have given me so many reasons to be proud of our region but my recent trips to the MIPIM Real Estate Summit and China have really brought this home for me.

I’ve been reminded of just how much Derby has to offer not only to the rest of the UK but internationally.

We're seeing record rates of investment into our city by key players who also recognise the potential of our relatively small but very mighty city.

MIPIM, the world’s leading real estate event, gave Team Derby the opportunity to spend time with potential investors, not only telling them all about Derby's incredible regeneration story but taking time to listen to what they have to say.

The event was the perfect opportunity to launch Derby's City Centre First for Offices prospectus, showcasing office opportunities and supporting a drive to get more people into our city centre and supporting the local economy.

A big thanks once again to Marketing Derby for coordinating Derby’s part in the event.

We're passionate about collaboration and partnership so it’s important to learn what our potential investors think.

The message was loud and clear from investors and developers alike: stability and confidence is key.
