Dino Moutsopoulos, managing partner at Place North, welcomed WSP to the MIPIM delegation – a group that also includes Salford City Council, Hatch, Northern Powerhouse Partnership, Wigan Council, and Whitbread.
“We are very proud to have a firm with the calibre of WSP choose Place North for MIPIM. Such significant backing of our new Northern offering is frankly fantastic,” Moutsopoulos said.
“WSP was clear with what they wanted from MIPIM and I’m very pleased that they have chosen Place North to help them with that.”
Moutsopoulos also spoke about Place’s own plans for the convention in Cannes. This includes discounted tickets for the Place MIPIM delegation, which, at £1,550 plus VAT, represent the best value-for-money offering available in the UK.
With its mission to champion the Northern built environment, Place has also arranged a series of opportunities to help the businesses in the North stand out amongst the crowd at MIPIM. This includes sessions on the UK Stage as well as an arrivals reception and breakfast conference

“Accessible, flexible, cost-effective, and multifaceted, we are proud to be supporting our region, its towns and cities. It is brilliant that WSP has chosen to support the North with us,” he continued.
“I personally look forward to working with Andy Temple, Sandra Robinson, and their wider team as we gear up for March.”
