This year’s Nottingham Property Ambassadors Charity Dinner was bigger than ever, the event was held to raise money for the Lord Mayor’s nominated charities and to unite Nottingham Property Ambassadors

Over 300 people attended the event, co-hosted by Nottingham City Council and Gleeds, which featured special guest speakers including Nottingham-born former Chairman of English Heritage, Sir Neil Cossons OBE. Former England and British Lion International Martin Bayfield was a highly entertaining MC and was joined on stage by England Rugby Cup winning hero Jason Leonard OBE.

During the event Nottingham Property Ambassadors highlighted regeneration activity in Nottingham and were updated on future sponsorship packages and promotional activity for the city.

Jane Todd, Chief Executive of Nottingham City Council who welcomed guests at the event, said: “I feel it is extremely important to celebrate a continuing success story for Nottingham – to reflect on our achievements and share our ambitions for this fantastic city whose future prosperity we all have a stake in.

I never cease to be inspired by the skill, commitment, creativity and sheer hard work that our local public and private sector organisations invest in ensuring that Nottingham stays competitive and retains its status as one of England’s economic powerhouses.”

Jane also announced that she was proud to be part of next year’s Team Nottingham at MIPIM in 2009 and encouraged new and existing businesses to join her to raise their own and Nottingham’s profile next March.

MIPIM 2009 Sponsorship brochures were launched on the night and guests had the option to register for the new Nottingham Regeneration Magazine, the Nottingham Property Activity Report, the Nottingham Property Ambassadors Scheme and plans for the Nottingham Property Forum.

Guests had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and successfully raised £3019 for the Lord Mayor’s three nominated charities Childcare Advocacy International, The Nottingham University Hospitals Charity and Midland Doctors Association.
