Derby Property Summit 2026 thanks its sponsors

The Derby Property Summit would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to this year’s sponsors – in particular, our summit sponsors Derby College Group and AtkinsRéalis.

Derby College Group is a key stakeholder in the city, supporting more than 13,000 students and working in partnership with over 2,700 employers to create a strong talent pipeline with the skills and attitudes to succeed in work and life.

In the past, the college’s Roundhouse campus has previously hosted the Derby Property Summit – so it was fitting that this year they formed part of the line-up, sharing with delegates the work they do to support the construction and built environment sectors.

AtkinsRéalis is a world-class engineering services and nuclear organisation with offices around the world, connecting people, data and technology to help transform infrastructure and energy systems, and solve complicated problems.

The company has a network of over 40 offices across the UK and Ireland, including in Derby.

With a long history of projects in the city and wider region, AtkinsRéalis has been appointed as the joint fissile design partner by Rolls-Royce Submarines for the expansion of its Raynesway site in Derby, which is doubling in size to meet the increasing demand from the UK and Australian navies, including the tri-lateral AUKUS programme.

Special thanks also go to the summit’s brand sponsors: Chevin Homes, an award-winning housebuilder with sites across Derby and the East Midlands, Derbion, which as well as providing over a million sq ft of indoor retail and leisure space is driving forward new residential schemes on its footprint, Matthew Montague Architects, a multi-award winning architectural practice which works with numerous local clients and Planning & Design Practice, a multidisciplinary team of chartered town planners, architects and heritage specialists, who work across both the public and private sector on projects of every scale.

Kathryn Allen, chief operating officer at Marketing Derby, said: “I’d like to say a big thank you to all of our sponsors for their support, which has been essential in helping to make the Derby Property Summit happen.”
