Curtins to bring ‘passion and impact’ to MIPIM

Bringing together those shaping the built environment of the North West, Yorkshire, and North East; the North of England at MIPIM delegation is due to be the largest yet with an agenda as ambitious as the region it represents.

With a series of large-scale regeneration projects on the horizon, the local authority has partnered with Place North to ensure its initiatives get the international attention they deserve.

Leaving MIPIM behind for another year, the focus now moves on to how those conversations in Cannes translate into real projects back home, says Steven Gregory, area director of Morgan Sindall Construction.

The development manager has no interest in being a sector specialist, recognising agility as an antidote to market volatility and eyeing projects across industrial, offices, and housing.
