Posted on September 30, 2024 in Corporate social responsibility

The UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) has announced that Winvic Construction Ltd have secured a pavilion at the annual event taking place between 20th-22nd May 2025, in Leeds.

Founded in 2001, Winvic Construction has established itself as a key player in the UK’s construction and ESG landscape, specialising in the design and delivery of private and public sector construction and civil engineering projects within the Industrial, Civils & Infrastructure and Multi-room sectors. Recognised as the nation’s leading ‘shed specialist,’ the main contractor recently celebrated the construction of 100 million sq ft of industrial space.  In addition, Winvic has built a strong reputation for complex civil engineering and infrastructure projects, with 100km of highways works and 6 Rail Freight Terminals built to date. As a prominent player within the build-to-rent and student accommodation sector, Winvic has delivered over 10,000 beds.

Winvic’s pavilion at UKREiiF 2025 will be a central hub for thought leadership and industry collaboration, with a focus on emerging trends in industrial, build-to-rent, student accommodation and infrastructure sectors, while continuing to champion ESG best practices. The pavilion will serve as a dynamic platform for collaboration, featuring panel discussions, expert insights, and interactive sessions that address the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the industry.

As a leader in delivering sustainable buildings and infrastructure, Winvic has pioneered Net Zero construction projects since 2021 working collaboratively with its ‘green’ supply chain. The company’s commitment to sustainability and ESG is reflected in its recent appointment to the Advisory Board for the Westminster Policy Liaison Group on ESG, further cementing Winvic’s influence in shaping national standards and policies.

Winvic previously captured industry attention at UKREiiF 2024 by hosting a panel discussion in the Industry in Focus Pavilion on the crucial topic of How to Achieve a Net Zero Built Environment: The Challenges with Embodied Carbon Data and Accurate Whole Life Cycle Assessments”. Chaired by independent consultant and ESG advisor, Georgina Penfold, expert panellists included Stuart McCallion – Head of Technical Development at SEGRO, Martin Cooper – Vice President at Prologis, Anna Tsartsari – Co-founding Director, Head of ESG and Sustainability at Built Environment Design Partnership, Fiona Lomas-Holt – Director in the Sustainability and ESG team at Turley, Danielle Sheppard – Senior Investment Director and Head of Sustainability at Barwood Capital and Arun Thaneja, Winvic’s Sustainability and Technical Services Director.

Speaking of their involvement, Arun Thaneja, Sustainability and Technical Services Director said: “We’re thrilled to become a Pavilion partner at UKREiiF 2025. We will host sessions that bring together experts to explore key topics and insights into the latest industry standards and trends shaping the future of construction and the built environment. What was clear from the panel session we hosted last year, on Whole Life Cycle Assessments, is that taking inspiration from others and collaborative ideas will help the construction and property sectors reach its environmental, sustainability and social value goals more efficiently. Winvic is delighted to be recognised as an ESG leader, but we are continually learning and striving to achieve greater things for our clients and the industry as a whole. Having recently joined the Advisory Board of the Westminster Policy Liaison Group on ESG as the Voice of Construction, we are eager to share our expertise and help advance the industry’s ESG journey.”

Nathan Spencer, Managing Director at UKREiiF, said: “We are thrilled to have Winvic on board as a pavilion partner for our 2025 event. Their expertise and reputation in the construction industry make them a perfect fit for UKREiiF, where we aim to showcase the best of the UK’s real estate, infrastructure, and investment sectors. Winvic’s participation underscores the importance of innovation and sustainability in the built environment, and we look forward to the insights and contributions they will bring to the forum.”

UKREiiF is supported by some of the biggest UK property and infrastructure companies, the fourth annual event will be held in Leeds on 20-22 May 2025. The forum will attract inward investment, generate economic growth, and drive a more sustainable and inclusive culture within the property and construction industries.
