MIPIM 2023

A successful MIPIM for LDS

A four-strong delegation from LDS attended the 2023 staging of MIPIM, the world’s largest property conference—and it’s already paying off, with transactions entering legals following connections made in Cannes.

LDS’s week kicked off with what is now established as an annual lunch, co-hosted with Tom Bloxham at his jawdropping Maison Bulle. One of the most iconic homes on the French Riviera, it provided an unmatched setting for attendees who came from businesses including Ingenious, LendInvest, Close Brothers, United Trust Bank, Housing Growth Partnership and Avamore.

Throughout the course of the week, the LDS boat welcomed an endless procession of lenders, brokers and housebuilders, showing that MIPIM is an unrivalled chance to pull together the people in the industry that can make things happen.

The second event of the week, co-hosted with gunnercooke and Watts Finance, saw LDS hold a boules tournament on La Croisette, introducing a light element of competition.

Among the companies we’d like to thank for invitations to their events are Together, United Trust Bank, Deloitte and BuildZone.

Mark Hawthorn, CEO of LDS, said:

“MIPIM has been an enormously useful tool for us in the many years we’ve been coming to the event. It provides the opportunity to meet new people and strengthen existing connections in a range of settings. The hard work done in Cannes is only the start, and we’re delighted to say that MIPIM 2023 is already proving fruitful for LDS.”
