The UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) 2025 was an unforgettable experience for the Strikes team and me—especially as it marked our very first time exhibiting at the event!

I didn’t know what to expect as I first stepped into New Dock Hall, the vast space at Leeds Royal Armouries museum that was to be home to the Strikes Property Services Group stand for 3 days (20th-22nd May 2025)—and I was not disappointed! Our neighbours were the “who’s who” of the movers and shakers of the property landscape, which a mix of investment, proptech, local authorities and infrastructure.

The gloriously sunny weather set the tone for a great week for connecting with an incredible mix of delegates and fellow exhibitors. Conversations flowed, relationships were built, and our meetings proved to be exceptionally productive.

Beyond showcasing our work, UKREiiF gave us a fantastic opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and gain fresh industry insights. We left feeling energised (despite the exhaustion!) and ready to put those conversations into action.

We couldn’t have asked for a better debut at UKREiiF, and we’re already looking forward to what the future holds. That’s it for this year—we’re off to give our feet, and vocal chords a rest!
