Reconnecting the city with the river, the Trent Basin development sits on the north bank of the Trent to the south east of the city. Right at the centre of this development is a historic inland dock – a reminder of the area’s importance when it came to distributing goods across the Midlands that would arrive down the river by boat.
The development is a waterside neighbourhood of low energy, contemporary homes and apartments. Phase 1 is complete with phase 2 well underway.
It plays a major role in the Nottingham Waterside regeneration project – a development that stretches out over 250 acres of land, making it one of the biggest of its kind in Europe.
We will meet at the Nottingham Racecourse where there will be a brief presentation about the development. We will then move to the Trent Basin site by coach where you will be given a guided tour of the Waterfront, The Basin and access to the Apartment block before being taken back to the racecourse by coach.
This event has limited capacity so it is for members only (no guests). Bookings are limited to a maximum of 2 places per company. Bookings will be taken on a first come, first served basis.
MEMBERS PLEASE LOGIN TO BE ABLE TO BOOK ON THIS EVENT.

Willmott Dixon is a privately-owned construction and interior fit-out company, and their Chairman, Rick Willmott, is the fifth generation to lead the business. Sustainability and social value is at the heart of the business and since 1852 they have been passionate about leaving the right sort of social, environmental and economic legacy.
In 2022 Willmott Dixon launched its Decarbonise Today service, which provides additional skills, resources and expertise to help public sector organisations bid for Government funding to make properties more energy efficient, as well as accelerating the process through upgrade work and post-completion analysis of energy performance. It’s part of their Now or Never strategy to be zero-carbon in their own operations without offsetting by 2030, and this includes assisting customers in achieving the same in their operations.
As a major contractor, they work on projects across a variety of sectors including residential, education, law and order, science and technology, commercial, and healthcare. Projects in the local area include the Nottinghamshire Police Custody Suite, Broadmarsh Green Heart and decarbonisation works at Queen’s Medical Centre.In 2022 they shone a light on construction as a great industry to work in by coming first in the Big Company category of the Best Companies Awards, which recognises the UK’s top workplaces. They continued their award success in 2023 when they won the first ever King’s Awards for Enterprise for promoting opportunity.
Although they are a national business, their regional offices, including one in Nottingham city centre, enable them to take a local approach. This is also demonstrated in their local pound approach of working with local companies, where possible, with up to 60 per cent of a project’s spending distributed within 35 miles.
