Welcome to the May edition of the Invest Gatwick Diamond newsletter

May is traditionally one of the busiest months for the Invest team as we head to Leeds for UKREiiF (The UK's Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum). This year we were the lead partner, supporting a co-ordinated Gatwick region delegation, featuring 60 public and private sector partners. In this issue we review Leeds 2026 and take a look at some of the main projects we are working on this summer, alongside showcasing business and investment news from across the Gatwick Diamond.
