Coverdale Barclay has been appointed to deliver the PR for The UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), a new conference and exhibition aimed at connecting people, places and businesses to accelerate the levelling up agenda and unlock investment throughout the country.

Taking place at Royal Armouries Leeds & Leeds Dock from Tuesday to Thursday, 17-19 May 2022, UKREiiF will be focused on bringing the private and public sectors together under one roof while showcasing new sustainable, inclusive investment opportunities that are available right across the UK.

London-based independent agency Coverdale Barclay will be handling communications for both the awards and conference, which is expected to welcome more than 5,000 in-person attendees while featuring over 250 speakers across 14 stages, in excess of 100 exhibitors and at least 50 fringe events.

Keith Griffiths, chief executive and founder of Built Environment Networking, UKREiiF’s organiser, says “Coverdale Barclay has developed an enviable reputation in development and inward investment circles and have worked on some of the largest and most prestigious regeneration projects in the UK, as well as delivering corporate PR for organisations that work in this space.”

Anna Coverdale, founder director at Coverdale Barclay, says, “Being appointed to work on the inaugural UKREiiF is truly exciting. It is a huge opportunity to both deliver for our client and add real value to critical issues facing the industry, such as the levelling up agenda. Connecting places with the right investors is crucial as we seek to build our way out of the pandemic.”
