Conference Overview

With a booming economy, devolutionary powers and the proposed arc corridor between Cambridge and Oxford there is currently an incredible buzz about Cambridgeshire currently. There are some major employment zones set to be developed around the region which in turn is driving the need to create thousands of homes and new communities. 180+ people will join us for the event to hear about some of those plans and connect with other construction and property professionals with the view of making new connections to help create new work opportunities in the region. Some of those speaking and delivering presentations at the event are:

• Cllr Bridget Smith; Leader of South Cambridgeshire District Council. She’ll be discussing how crucial the region will be in accelerating housing within Cambridgeshire with ambitious schemes happening on large brownfield sites – creating new towns and communities within the region, whilst discussing the infrastructure and potential developments which will create thousands of jobs.
• Cllr Lewis Herbert; Leader of Cambridge City Council. The second local authority joining us will be Cambridge City Council who’ll be sharing their development and regeneration plans – from new housing, office and employment space, infrastructure and more – there is a lot going on, and a lot of potential schemes for businesses to get involved in.
• Hayden Dolby; Managing Director of Taylor Wimpey East Anglia. A prominent figure in housebuilding across the region, Taylor Wimpey are set to continue their development across Cambridgeshire with thousands of homes in the pipeline and five active sites being worked on currently across key sites including Cambourne and Northstowe. Hayden will share details on their ongoing and future developments.
• Tim Holmes; Managing Director of Endurance Estates. The Cherry Hinton scheme in Cambridgeshire will deliver over 1,200 new homes and create another new community in the region – and Endurance Estates, alongside their JV partner Marshall Group, are the ones leading this project forwards. Tim will give an overview of the proposed plans which include new schools, community facilities and a retirement home – whilst sharing information on how firms of all sizes can get involved in the project.
• Stuart Field; Associate Development Director at L&Q Estates – formerly Gallagher Estates. L&Q have recently acquired Gallagher Estates and the acquisition comes at an exciting time for the developer with their involvement in many projects across the region including the massive Northstowe scheme.
