This event will delve into the incredible opportunities they present to help drive economic growth and tackle the housing crisis.

At this event you’ll Meet mill owners who’re looking to revitalise their derelict buildings but need the support of the built environment industry Hear from the public sector on how they’ll be working in collaboration to bring forward mill regeneration Meet the developers and investors looking to transform these buildings through multi-million pound projects Discover the newest schemes which are yet to be announced, and hear how your company can get involved Click here to register for your ticket > Speakers include: IT’S A MUST-ATTEND CONFERENCE! CLICK HERE TO BOOK NOW! Mills were behind the original Northern Powerhouse whilst helping to trigger technical innovation, stimulate new trade and help transform the transport network. However, with the 20th-century decline in national textile manufacturing, many of these heritage and characterful buildings face uncertain futures – but as an industry, we can ensure these buildings are not lost forever. Many are now underused or vacant – and there are many challenges with regenerating and adapting mills to new purposes, but they also bring many opportunities. The opportunity in West Yorkshire (where the event is set to be held) alone is staggering – there are 1,350 mills which are underused or vacant, which have the potential to create thousands of jobs, 27,000 homes and more. Nationally there are fine examples of how to regenerate these buildings into thriving new locations – and at this event, we’ll delve into best practice from those who’ve done it, but we’ll also hear from local authorities, investors and major developers as they share their vision and future plans for these impressive heritage buildings. CLICK HERE TO BOOK NOW! PROGRAMME & SPEAKERS You can be sure to walk away from this conference with a huge amount of new information, business cards and potential work opportunities as we delve into the huge opportunities vacant mills and heritage buildings can present – and how we as an industry can collaborate to bring these buildings back to life. Through a series of exceptional panel discussions, we’ll hear from the experts at the forefront of the conversation who’ll share their insider knowledge with the audience – alongside open Q&A using Slido for high audience participation. We’ll then delve into gripping presentations where leading developers will reveal how they’re looking to redevelop mills and bring forward major new schemes, sharing best practice on past schemes but also looking at the future projects and how those with similar values and aims around historic mills can help these buildings thrive once more. The sessions for the conference include: Keynote Speeches Mills – Their Potential Through Regeneration Mills – Opportunities For Development Mills – Major Development Opportunities CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FULL PROGRAMME & SPEAKERS PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Our partnership opportunities will enable you to reap the rewards of being centre stage at the conference whilst removing the usual barriers to key decision-makers and influential figures within the industry.
