Cheshire sets out MIPIM ambitions

Cheshire & Warrington has come on board as sponsor of the Place MIPIM Closing Drinks, ahead of the LEP launching its programme of MIPIM opportunities later this week.

Bruntwood pulled off a nice coup, securing Jaguar Land Rover for the last two floors of Neo, meaning the redevelopment of Bank House can be called an unqualified success. Some have wondered, with JLR being a big Merseyside employer, why not Liverpool?

Cheshire and Warrington will look to MIPIM as a platform to tell the story of a rapidly growing and diversifying science and energy base, a Place North West roundtable session was told this week.

The pan-European investor, which manages Birchwood Park, is to be the lead sponsor for Cheshire and Warrington at MIPIM 2018, heading a list of 31 organisations including Bruntwood, Peel and Grosvenor.

AEW Architects is inviting all friends and colleagues from the industry to join them on a fancy dress charity walk on Sunday 18 February, a family event to help former managing director Steve Burne raise £250,000 to fund new long-stay rooms at Ronald McDonald House.

The city climbed from ninth to third in Lambert Smith Hampton’s UK Vitality Index for 2018, released this week, which also revealed Macclesfield as another impressive North West performer.

The environmental consultancy firm has hired Sarah van de Berg, Graham Walker, and Harriet Wingfield in September to its Hilton Street office in Manchester, bringing the transport team up to seven.

The property management firm has promoted Philip Manson to partner and head of valuation and hired Mike Dutson and Anthony Kingdon.
