BRADFORD PROPERTY FORUM Projects pipeline showcased ahead of property convention

Bradford businesses heard recently how to help showcase the city’s opportunities at the local Property Forum event. Questions were also put to the local authority’s strategic director, with responsibility for such activities.

Chaired by Matt Rudman of Vectos, the breakfast event at Great Victoria Hotel heard about a range of developments currently in the pipeline around the city, and the investment, jobs and wealth creation that they will bring in. These projects – including Bradford Live, Darley Street Market, One City Park and City of Culture 2025 –are being highlighted at a three-day international property convention in Leeds in May.

David Shepherd, Director of Place at Bradford Council, addressed a quizzical audience with an enthusiastic zeal about the potential future that the District has. Supported by his colleague, Bev Foster, the then new-in-post officer fielded questions from the 50-plus gathering of property-focused business representatives from Bradford and Leeds.

Matt, the Chair of Bradford Chamber’s Property Forum, said: “Our Property Forum events continue to be popular, and it’s easy to figure out why: they are informative, interesting and provide an opportunity to both quiz key movers and shakers, and to convey to policy-makers what matters to our members. Not forgetting the chance to make new contacts locally and sub-regionally.”
