On the inaugural conference Keith Griffiths, founder and UKREiiF driving force, said: “I am delighted that we will be hosting the inaugural UKREiiF in Leeds. Leeds is a city close to my heart – it is where I chose to headquarter my business, Built Environment Networking, and where I have made my home.

“UKREiiF is designed to be a UK-wide forum to connect the public sector with developers and funders, and as one of the UK’s great cities, hosting the inaugural UKREiiF conference in Leeds felt like a no-brainer.”

Head of Conference Leeds, Claire Heap commented: “After a year-long hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are delighted to see the return of in-person events. We look forward to hosting UKREiiF and welcoming their delegates to the city, especially at a time when the city is enjoying significant investments such as the announcement of the UK’s first Infrastructure Bank and the movement of BBC and the Bank of England jobs to the city. This is an incredibly exciting time to visit Leeds to make connections and see what our city has to offer.”
