Mountain Earth joins Place’s North of England MIPIM delegation

Keen to gain an intimate understanding of how the public and private sectors are thinking about the future, the growing construction firm is heading to Cannes with Place in 2026 for a week of relationship building and information gathering.

Mountain Earth has joined the Place North MIPIM delegation at Partner Pro level, joining the likes of Morgan Sindall Construction, Axis-RE, Marco Living, and Drees & Sommer, who have also opted in at this tier.

The delegation is now up to 40 organisations, including public sector partners such as Blackpool Council.

MIPIM will see more than 20,000 built environment professionals from both the public and private sectors gather in the South of France for a week of networking, best practice exchanges, and investment deals.

As members of the delegation, Mountain Earth will have access to a series of invitation-only events and exclusive opportunities at Place’s North of England Suite.

Sam Heyes, managing director of Mountain Earth, said: “We’re using MIPIM to look one or two years ahead.

“It’s an opportunity to hear directly from the local authorities and forward-thinking developers about where their focus lies for 2026 and beyond.

“By understanding those future goals now, we can ensure we’re making the right investments both inwardly and outwardly. It’s also about aligning our engineering approach with where the market is going so, we can help to unlock those pipelines.”

Dino Moutsopoulos, managing partner at Place Media Group, said: “Having a firm like Mountain Earth come to us to support their first MIPIM is testament to the position Place North has created as the go to media in the UK for MIPIM.

“Our coverage of all of the North and our broad support for multiple cities and towns proves attractive to private sector with pan regional strategies.

“Mountain Earth is a young and ambitious firm who have been growing strongly the past few years and I’m very excited to welcome them to the North of England MIPIM delegation.”

Place has a range of different services available to those looking curate and maximise their presence at MIPIM in 2026 – chief among these is the addition of the North of England Suite.

This flexible indoor and outdoor space overlooks the Croisette and is made for project launches, private events, and networking functions throughout the day.

It will also be the home to Place North’s dynamic conference programming, including The Investible North and Great Minds series. These sessions are available for sponsorship.
