UKREiiF Evening Reception

20 May 2026 to 20 May 2026
5:00 pm to 7:00 pm

Our annual Cities Reception at UKREiiF brought together over 150 senior leaders from the property industry, local government and investment community to celebrate the power of collaboration between the private and public sectors in securing the future success of UK cities.

At the reception, our speakers explored how joint working is accelerating the digitisation of Local Plans, supporting the Square Mile’s record pipeline of world-class office development, and helping to unlock investment and growth across the UK. The event also reinforced the importance of offices as critical economic infrastructure, driving productivity, innovation and employment.

This event was held in partnership with the BCO (British Council for Offices) and Sheffield Property Association.

Our speakers included:

  • Louisa Harrison-Walker OBE, Chief Executive, Sheffield Chamber of Commerce
  • Tom Sleigh, Planning & Transportation Committee Chairman, City of London Corporation
  • Bridget Wilkins, Head of Plan-Making, Digital Markets and Growth, Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
