WEBINAR - The Nottingham Project

Hear from Greg Nugent, Chair of The Nottingham Project who will discuss the organisations work in boosting Nottingham's creativity and cultural sector as well as their ongoing involvement in the redevelopment of the much talked about Broadmarsh site.

WEBINAR - Social Value - Why? An insight from businesses and customers

The increased emphasis on boosting social, economic and ecological value in recent years is not just about good PR – it's now firmly embedded in most tender processes.

Businesses delivering value beyond the basics of paying workers, rewarding shareholders and delivering goods and services is nothing new. But the focus on social value takes this to another level with its focus on social, economic and environmental benefits.

WEBINAR - Legal and Contractual Impact of COVID-19 - Lessons Learnt

This year has been testing for everybody in every walk of their lives. The impact of COVID-19 has been, and is still, far reaching. We have all had to adapt and yet still try to work and live our lives as best we can.

For many in the property and construction industries, work has carried on but under very different circumstances and with a considerable number of challenges to overcome.

Contracts have had to be re-negotiated, payment terms and additional costs discussed, supply chain issues overcome, new health and safety challenges to make sure the workforce is as safe as possible from COVID and customer expectations and deadlines still to be met.

The Future of the City Centre

The city centre plays a fundamental role in enabling exchange and interaction. It is the site of exchange not only of goods and services but also information and ideas, a place where work interacts with leisure and play, and where people’s lives intersect.

But that role has been under immense and sustained pressure as new ways of conducting retail have eroded the functions of the city centre and now with COVID-19 new ways of working. So what is the future of the City Centre?

Using Leicester as an example, Louise Seymour will look at recent development trends, increased city centre living, the focus on public realm, the office market (and its critical importance to the city centre), and take us up to where we were before COVID, and where Leicester City Council are focussing their investment going forward.

Sarah Harrison will then focus on retail; where we are now, future trends, but she will also pick up on Tourism and leisure and what next in these aspects.
