Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor: MIPIM 2015: First day blues
http://mercurybusinesseditor.blogspot.com/2015/03/mipim-2015.html
Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor. Wednesday, 11 March 2015. MIPIM 2015: First day blues. Leicester and Leicestershire at Mipim 2015: Day One. It is a measure of how far Leicester and Leicestershire have come in terms of inward investment over the past year that the delegation launched its presence at this year's Mipim with a jobs story most people could relate to. Of course it's always important to do something to announce your presence at an event such as Mipim, where cities, counties and ...

Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor: MIPIM 2015: Strength in numbers
http://mercurybusinesseditor.blogspot.com/2015/03/mipim-2015-power-in-numbers.html
Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor. Thursday, 12 March 2015. MIPIM 2015: Strength in numbers. Leicester and Leicestershire at Mipim 2015: Day Two. Nottingham's headquarters at this year's Mipim. Could they be sharing it with Leicester and Derby at Mipim 2016? In the run up to this year's Mipim, Leicester and Leicestershire flirted with the idea of combining with the two other major city and county areas in the East Midlands to give all three a bigger bang. His comments make sense, of course&#...

Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor: A Brave New World at New Walk
http://mercurybusinesseditor.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-brave-new-world-at-new-walk.html
Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor. Thursday, 26 February 2015. A Brave New World at New Walk. I took a walk to the site of the Leicester's demolished New Walk Centre at lunchtime yesterday to get my fill of the rubble porn everyone seems enamoured with at the moment. I'm sure people with a lot more qualifications than me could better explain the psychological impact of razing imposing 1970s eyesore buildings to the ground, but it certainly seems to have had a positive impact. As I walked aro...

Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor: Computing the cost of big names and new jobs
http://mercurybusinesseditor.blogspot.com/2015/02/computing-cost-of-big-names-and-new-jobs.html
Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor. Friday, 6 February 2015. Computing the cost of big names and new jobs. Handing out big wodges of taxpayers' cash to multi-billion-pound corporations and business people worth in excess of £100 million is always going to cause controversy. Another £3 million has been spent by Leicester City Council on refurbishing the city centre office block IBM will occupy. And all this investment means hundreds of new jobs for the city. However, things start to look a lit...

Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor: Mipim: Uprighting those twisted views
http://mercurybusinesseditor.blogspot.com/2014/03/mipim-uprighting-those-twisted-views.html
Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor. Friday, 14 March 2014. Mipim: Uprighting those twisted views. Leicester and Leicestershire at Mipim 2014: Day three. Fifteen minutes before my flight back to the UK was due to take off my name was announced over the tannoy of the departure lounge at Nice airport. The capital would mean it would be more expensive. As with many things in journalism, my presence on a Mipim delegation partly funded by the public purse is a grey area in a lot of people's minds.

Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor. Thursday, 12 March 2015. MIPIM 2015: Pushing for a try or kicking for goal? Leicester and Leicestershire at Mipim 2015: Day Three. Business delegates taking part in a rugby ball throwing competition organised by Leicester Tigers at Mipim. That's another successful year for Leicester and Leicestershire at Mipim, so what was all the fuss about? Business leaders I've spoken to over the past few hours are fairly sceptical, but won't completely rule it out. ...

Ian Griffin, Leicester Mercury Business Editor. Saturday, 14 March 2015. UPDATE: Welford Place developer rumours.
