We have a great panel for you that will provide you with some useful market data, development intelligence and an insight into the region’s investment potential.

  • Coventry City Council
  • Jaguar Land Rover
  • University of Warwick
  • Complex Development Plans
  • Transport Systems Catapult

The Council in this discussion will talk about some proposed schemes and the rationale behind some of the City’s development and regeneration decisions and we are delighted to welcome the Chief Executive Martin Reeves, a leading figure in the region and one of the drivers behind the success of the West Midlands Combined Authority

Colin Harvey is the Head of Property Programmes Delivery for Jaguar Land Rover who are one of the most significant private sector investors in the Midlands with a phenomenal amount of work both planned and onsite; it is difficult to keep up with their expansion plans and the volume of work created by JLR.

Ian Harrabin is the Managing Director of Complex Development Plans who are a distinctive and high quality developer with some very interesting schemes in Coventry

James Breckon is a Director at the University of Warwick and like other institutions in the higher education sector there is significant competition to attract high quality students to the area; Warwick has a development programme in place which James will share with us.

In the context of development, transport infrastructure and innovation, Yolande will provide an overview of some of the changes that will come into effect soon that will impact connectivity and transportation in the UK and impact on the property sector.
