Ben Pettitt, Sector Lead of Real Estate at IES, said: UKREiiF has quickly become one of the must attend events within the real estate sector. After a sell-out session in 2024, we are excited to return to the Barton Suite in 2025 to present fresh insights from industry thought leaders and the IES team, and to reflect on progress made since last year’s event.

As the sector strives to implement effective net-zero transition pathways for both assets and portfolios, knowledge sharing, collaboration, and technology will all be key to our success. We look forward to exploring these critical themes (and more) during our session on Day 1 of the 2025 conference (20th May), so keep an eye on the programme for further details being announced in due course!”

Clive Chalkley, Head of the Real Estate Sector Team (UK) at Gowling WLG, says: “We are thrilled to be participating in UKREiiF again. Last year our panel discussion on how the Living Sector is meeting the UK’s diverse housing needs helped to kick off the proceedings on the Tuesday and provided us with the opportunity to spark some thought-provoking conversations. Look out for our 2025 panel session, which we’ll be hosting on the first day of the conference.

“Since its inception in 2022, UKREiiF has been one of the events we most look forward to in the calendar. Our Leeds team have also been delighted to be able to showcase their home city to all of our clients and contacts who attend.”

Alastair Hamilton, Partner at Pick Everard said: “UKREiiF has become a key event in our calendar every year, offering a platform for crucial industry discussions, knowledge sharing and networking – all of which continue to develop longer-term relationships across the industry. The event allows us to collaborate and drive real change, while supporting the investment and growth needed to advance the built environment and the positive impact our sector has the power to have. 

“The past two years as an event sponsor have been hugely successful, with our presence growing significantly and our impactful Get Zero campaign from 2024 putting net zero ambitions right at the forefront. That campaign is something that continues to play a central role in what we do at Pick Everard, and we’re now excited to be building even more momentum with UKREiiF into 2025.” 

A spokesperson at Close Brothers Property Finance said: “Close Brothers Property Finance are delighted to be partnering with UKREiiF 2025, as we continue to support the property sector and in particular SME housebuilders.  We look forward to our event alongside Birketts, where we will explore the challenges and opportunities faced by housebuilders during this housing crisis, whilst celebrating the fantastic work of our industry. UKREiiF is a fantastic platform to drive meaningful discussions and we look forward to what next year’s event has in store.”

Eoin Leonard, CEO at Catalyst, said: “UKREiiF is the leading event for the UK’s property sector, and we’re excited to return in 2025. It’s a great platform to share ideas and explore new opportunities that will help shape the future of real estate.

As we expand across the UK, Catalyst is proud to bring our expertise in ESG and building safety, helping create a greener and safer built environment. We’re proud of the positive impact we’re making and look forward to connecting with other industry leaders to continue driving change.”

Nathan Spencer, Managing Director at UKREiiF, said: “We are thrilled to welcome such a diverse and influential group of partners to this year’s forum. Their commitment to participating underscores the significance of UKREiiF as a platform for driving meaningful conversations and forging partnerships that will shape the future of the UK’s real estate and infrastructure sectors. With the impressive lineup of speakers and content sessions, attendees can look forward to an event that not only highlights current trends and challenges but also explores innovative solutions and opportunities across the industry.”

UKREiiF is supported by some of the biggest UK property and infrastructure companies, the fourth annual event will be held in Leeds on 20-22 May 2025.
