24 May Capital West London showcases its opportunities at UKREiiF 2023

Capital West London exhibited at the UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), between 16-18 May, in Leeds, demonstrating its strength in knowledge sharing, inspiration and setting unified industry goals. 

This year’s UKREiiF event was attended by over 6,000 investors, developers, local authorities and consultants. For three days, the West London delegation – consisting of Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hounslow, West London Business and OPDC alongside Wates – met and built connections with potential partners to discuss opportunities in inward investment, generating economic growth, and driving a more sustainable and inclusive culture across the boroughs. 

Capital West London presented its opportunities through marketing materials, delegates speaking at seminars and by hosting two receptions – one for Capital West London in partnership with Wates and one for Barnet Council in partnership with EY.

Project Manager Julia Owen said: “The stand had a great footfall and feedback was very positive. We are glad that the team’s hard work led to such great results in terms of design, delegate engagement and place promotion. We had so many one-to-one conversations and met a huge number of new contacts. 

“One of the most fun events of the week was Barnet Council and EY’s BarNET ZERO vegetarian breakfast that we hosted at The Tetley, which had liquid orange and ginger shots encased in a seaweed bubble made by Notpla. They were 100% plastic-free, vegan, and naturally biodegradable – and began the conversation around sustainability in an engaging way.”

Capital West London is an established cross-borough approach to driving economic prosperity and business growth across the sub-region of West London. The programme was commissioned in 2017 by the West London Alliance – a partnership between the seven West London authorities of Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, and Hounslow, and has since been run collaboratively with London & Partners, West London Business, Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation, and key stakeholders.

The next Capital West London event is their Growth Summit, taking place at The Drum, Wembley on Tuesday 20 June. Secure your place now: https://cwlgrowthsummit.co.uk/book/
