Reeves in the chair at MIPIM
Martin Reeves, the chief executive of Coventry City Council, has been chosen to chair a major seminar on international inward investment. Reeves, one of the youngest city council chiefs in the UK at 39, will be one of three experts to host the inward investment briefing during the MIPIM property show in France later this month. The session, which is being organised by Oxford Intelligence and Ernst & Young, will explore the effects of the recession on foreign investment into Europe and its implications for future, and look at the sectors that will continue to drive investment and how cities can attract them. Reeves will explain how Coventry is targeting foreign investment as a key driver in the future development of the city.
