Building on the strength of its projects in Manchester, Liverpool and the wider North, the engineering consultancy has joined the Place North delegation for 2027 as a senior partner.

Forward-thinking companies ready to build business connections, raise brand profile, and gather market intel on the Midlands, North West, Yorkshire, and North East will find ample opportunities to do so via the 2027 Place Media Group events calendar.

Place is taking over Manchester’s AO Arena on 1 October for our annual high-octane celebration of the Northern property industry.

Whether you’re building a data centre, refurbishing a town hall or improving a railway station, much like Benjamin Franklin’s famous idiom about taxes and death, one thing is certain: the project will likely be delayed and the costs will almost certainly increase, writes Stuart Wilks of Limeslade.

Delegates are invited to join Place North at a reception in September as we prepare to ramp up activity preparation for next year’s show.

Place has built a genuinely trusted presence across the North, and that regional depth matters to us as we grow our own footprint here, says Mark Dewhurst, Manchester partner at Ridge.

There are plenty of opportunities to gather crucial market intel, engage in high-quality networking, and enhance brand positioning during the second half of 2026.

Place Media Group is giving Yorkshire a more prominent role in its national programme with the Yorkshire Real Estate Summit at its heart.
