Midlands Engine Partnership showcases £48bn+ investment opportunities across the Midlands at UKREiiF 2024 The Midlands Engine Partnership came together at this year’s UK Real Estate Infrastructure Investment Forum to showcase to a global audience partner priority investment propositions worth in excess of £48bn and with the potential to create around 380,000 jobs – more than doubling current jobs in the region.  For the first time, the Midlands Engine Partnership hosted its own pavilion giving local authority, business and university representatives a platform to present investment opportunities from across the Midlands.  Panel discussions covered diverse topics from how Lincolnshire is powering the low-carbon energy sector, and how multiple developments will rejuvenate Derby city centre, to how Worcester’s Shrub Hill Development will bring a boost to the city with 5000 new jobs.  Panel sessions in the pavilion were followed by the Midlands Investment Reception on Tuesday evening. An established event at UKREiiF, the Reception featured a welcome from Sir John Peace and the newly elected combined authority mayors – Richard Parker for the West Midlands and Claire Ward for the East.  An updated Midlands Investment Portfolio worth £48bn+  Midlands Engine partner priority propositions can be accessed through the Midlands Investment Portfolio, updated for 2024.  Newly https://lnkd.in/edR83tzS

☘ ☘ PM International Investment Summit Speech say he wants to ‘enable the builders not the blockers’.. 🌳 Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivered a speech at the International Investment Summit on the 14 October 2024 making reference to the need for planning to support growth and to restrict regulation and asking a series of questions as to whether it will make our economy more dynamic; inhibit or unlock investment?; or does it enable the builders not the blockers? 🏢 Continuing to say: “But we’ve also got to look at regulation – across the piece.  And where it is needlessly holding back the investment we need to take our country forward… Where it is stopping us building the homes… The data centres, the warehouses, grid connectors, roads, trainlines, you name it… Then mark my words – we will get rid of it. Take the East Anglia 2 wind farm. A £4 billion investment. One Gigawatt of clean energy. An important project – absolutely. But also the sort of thing a country as committed to clean energy as we are… Needs to replicate again and again. Now regulators demanded over four thousand planning documents for that project… Not 4000 pages – 4000 documents. And then six weeks after finally receiving planning consent… It was held up for a further two years by judicial review. I mean – as an investor… When you see this inertia… You just don’t bother do you? And that – in a nutshell… Is the biggest supply-side problem we have in our country. So it’s time to upgrade the regulatory regime… Make it fit for the modern age..” 🚦 The full speech can be viewed below: #planning #newhomes #homes #houses #build

Jeffrey Froom, Co-founder of Live Easy, and myself had an insightful conversation with Michael Avery on Classic Business. Classic Business demystifies a range of pillar topics that underpin the South African economy and inform our daily lives. We discussed the Live Easy story and how it has translated to tangible impact for Live Easy’s tenants (particularly around ESG factors) in Johannesburg and Pretoria. This quantifiable impact was investigated through a detailed analysis of the potential Social Return on Impact (SROI) by commissioning a research study with EY. This was the first study of its kind on the continent. Live Easy was founded 12-years ago by entrepreneurs Jeffrey Froom and James Huff, who wanted to fill the gap in the market between social housing and privately owned homes — a gap highlighted in the government’s National Development Plan. As one of South Africa’s largest affordable housing rental brands, Live Easy has 4,500 units across 10 sites and 16 buildings in Gauteng, with 1,500 units under development. Situated close to transport and business hubs, the idea is to expand nationally. https://liveeasy.co.za https://iono.fm/e/1417777 LIVE EASY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT #LiveEasy #ESG #Impact #Investing #Classic #Business #Dignified #Living #MoveIn #MoveUp #Urbanisation #CBD
