South: Webinar – Freeports & Free Zones

Published by

BDB Pitmans are sponsoring a webinar on Freeports & Free Zones hosted by Built Environment Networking on Friday January 22, 2021.

The proposals for Freeports and Free Zones are set to be one of the most significant and challenging built environment and economic growth-related topics of 2021. The UK government has opened the bidding process which is likely to see a number of competitive bids from ports and consortiums around England and the wider UK seeking to gain Freeport status.


As part of this event, experts in the field share their knowledge and insight into possible ingredients of success and how the awarding of Freeport status could act as a catalyst for associated property and construction projects.

With the application process set to close on February 5, this webinar is a timely opportunity to get abreast of this important initiative.

Planning and Infrastructure partner at BDB Pitmans, David Mundy will be introducing and chairing the session and will be joined by Richard Ballantyne, chief executive of the British Ports Association.
