Gillespies sponsoring and speaking at the 2025 Building New Communities Conference

Gillespies is delighted to announce its sponsorship of the prestigious Building New Communities Conference 2025, taking place on Tuesday 29 April at RIBA London. 

This influential event brings together developers, investors, public authorities, and key stakeholders to explore innovative strategies and discuss future directions for the UK’s housing sector and garden communities.

Associate Partner Sheena Bell will contribute her expertise to an insightful panel discussion titled "Managing Delivery and Long-Term Stewardship of Garden Communities." Sheena will share valuable perspectives drawn from her extensive experience delivering sustainable public realm and green infrastructure at a number of garden communities, notably West of Ifield, Chalgrove, East Hemel, and Ebbsfleet Garden City.

Gillespies' Head of Landscape Planning, Samantha Leathers, will be attending the conference, reflecting Gillespies’ ongoing commitment to shaping resilient and vibrant communities through innovative landscape architecture and planning solutions.

We look forward to an engaging conference and the opportunity to collaborate with industry leaders in shaping sustainable and thriving garden communities across the UK.
