The uplifting speech from Lord Coe - 'We should judge the Olympics by the legacy they will give to London' - was a highlight of this year's BCO Conference in London. With confidence improving, long-awaited announcements on large City projects and talk of smaller projects going ahead despite recent funding cuts there was plenty for the 500 delegates to mull over amongst the more formal discussions on politics, economy, transport - and what this all means for the built environment.
"Given the backdrop of the Queen's Speech and forthcoming Budget, there was a surprisingly buoyant mood at the conference," said Holistic director Victoria Connell. "Perhaps the nature of development means we're all now focused on three years' time rather than the challenges the current climate brings, but it is these wider, long term discussions that are vital for helping to shape London once the recession has eased and the Olympics Games are over."
Holistic was at MIPIM again this year, which proved an excellent event with senior property professionals all there to make deals and do business.
We looked after all of our clients who attended, securing coverage in MIPIM News and helping them to make the most of the event. For cost consultant and project managers MPG Shreeves and construction firm Margolis, we filled their itineraries with new business meetings, which will be nurtured over the coming weeks to lead to new work.
"The key to a successful MIPIM is planning, being selective about the events you attend, making the most of every day, and, most importantly, following up on all the leads and developing the new relationships you've formed," said Holistic Director Sophie Eastwood, "It's ultimately a people business, after all."
