A director from Urban Sister, a company investing in high-end residential conversions in the city centre, is set to join a panel discussion at the forthcoming Derby Property Summit.

Ruth Hobbs will be at the event set to take place on Wednesday, 14 July, which will showcase the city’s investment pipeline and future opportunities.

Ruth and her sister Gillian Hobbs launched Urban Sister in 2018 with a mission to transform commercial buildings into homes and reinvigorate the city centre.

Their first commercial conversion, Urban Lofts, involved turning an empty office building in Lodge Lane into student apartments.

The scheme was delivered to such a high standard that it won the Best HMO Deal, 2019, at the UK Property Investor Awards.

Registrations are now open for the Derby Property Summit, which this year will be a hybrid event.

Once again, business journalist Declan Curry will assume hosting duties – and will be joined by speakers, including Derby City Council chief executive Paul Simpson, as well as a representative from St James Securities and Cale Street.

The networking element will take place in the award-winning Market Place Al Fresco Dining Experience, with the conference held in the comfort of the QUAD cinema.

For safety and to facilitate quality networking, numbers will be limited to 120 delegates attending in person, with unlimited numbers online.

Tickets to the live event and face-to-face networking area are limited to event sponsors. To find out more about sponsorship opportunities e-mail Katie Wells at katie.wells@marketingderby.co.uk.
