Headline Sponsor announced

We are delighted to announce the Headline Sponsor of Team Derby and Derbyshire at MIPIM 2020 will be Bondholder Smith Partnership.

Law firm, Smith Partnership has signed up to sponsor the D2 presence at MIPIM – the global commercial property fair held in Cannes from 10th-13th March 2020 – as it sees the event as a key component in how it can play an active role in improving Derby and Derbyshire.

MIPIM gathers over 26,000 of the most influential players from all sectors of the international property industry in Cannes for four days of networking, learning and transaction through events, conferences and dedicated exhibition zones.

A combination of public and private sector partners will join members of Marketing Derby in 2020 as part of a joint city and county delegation.

Fraser Cunningham, Partner at Smith Partnership says: “As a MIPIM veteran of 3 years, and a Marketing Derby Board member, I am delighted to be part of promoting Derby and Derbyshire at MIPIM 2020. The opportunity to spend time with business leaders from across the region is invaluable and the exposure our firm gets by being part of Team Derby is outstanding.”

Tom Erskine of Smith Partnership added: “Smith Partnership is proud to be members of Team Derby and Derbyshire and to take this opportunity to promote our wonderful area to the world. MIPIM is an enormous event and to go as part of a team allows us to punch above our weight in terms of exposure.
