Winvic Construction Ltd has revealed plans for its pavilion at UKREiiF 2025, announcing a new partnership with Leeds-based charity Zarach as part of its commitment to community impact and industry collaboration.
Titled the 'Winvic and Partner's Hub', the pavilion will serve as a space for thought leadership and active dialogue on critical issues shaping the construction industry. Attendees can expect panel discussions and interactive sessions led by Winvic alongside partners Ridge, UMC Architects, and Maber. Topics will include Net Zero, ESG and social value, the housing crisis, the Building Safety Act, and the rise of data centres.
As part of its presence at the UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), Winvic is also launching its 'Beds for Beds' initiative in support of Zarach, a local charity providing beds to children living in poverty. The contractor aims to fund 24 bed bundles—each including a bed, mattress, bedding, and pyjamas, symbolising the 24 storeys of its Lisbon Street multi-room development in Leeds. Winvic will match all bed bundle pledges made during the event via a QR code in the pavilion.
The company is also partnering with Leeds-based social enterprise Shine to provide catering at the pavilion.
Heidi Salmons, Director of Marketing, Business Development and Social Responsibility at Winvic, said: "We're thrilled to be a pavilion partner at UKREiiF 2025. Collaboration sits at the heart of everything we do, from industry-wide knowledge sharing to supporting grassroots initiatives that make a real difference. Our sessions will explore key topics and insights into the latest industry trends and challenges, shaping the future of construction and the built environment.
"Guided by our 'Doing It Right' ethos and The Winvic Way values, our partnership with Zarach reflects our commitment to balancing commercial endeavour with positive community impact during UKREiiF and beyond. It means a great deal to us to be supporting such a dynamic and effective charity, which puts the wellbeing and educational needs of children in Leeds at its heart. We hope our partners and wider network embrace the opportunity to make a difference and support our ‘Beds for Beds’ fundraising campaign."
Arun Thaneja, Sustainability and Technical Services Director at Winvic, added: "What was clear from the panel session we hosted at UKREiiF last year, is that taking inspiration from others and collaborative ideas will help the construction and property sectors reach its environmental, sustainability and social value goals more efficiently. Having recently joined the Advisory Board of the Westminster Policy Liaison Group on ESG as the Voice of Construction, we are eager to share our expertise and help advance the industry's ESG journey. Our primary goal at UKREiiF is to help accelerate and unlock sustainable, inclusive and transformational buildings and infrastructure assets."
Ellie McGrath, Fundraising and Supporter Engagement Manager at Zarach, said: "Zarach is delighted to partner with Winvic and we are grateful that their contribution to our mission will enable us to lift many more children out of bed poverty. We believe that every child deserves a good night's sleep and a bed to call their own, and partnerships like this have an impact that lasts a childhood."
