3. UK Government Mandate for RIO ..“A new one-stop-shop has been set up (RIO) to help international investors identify and fund regeneration opportunities in the UK. These projects won’t just mean new jobs in London or the South East - but right across the whole country” The Prime Minister at the Lord Mayor’s Banquet (11th November 2013).

4. UK Government Mandate “We have a really strong supply of regeneration projects in the UK - over £100 billion in capital value. But currently the offer is fragmented with delays and it’s difficult for investors to navigate. The Regeneration Investment Organisation provides a great opportunity to announce a radical new approach to helping boost investment into the UK”. “RIO acts as the “honest broker” and provides a fantastic way of helping investors find and invest into a credible range of UK wide pipeline of regeneration opportunities. It does this by having a dedicated regional team and development experts, set project criteria in determining an “investible project”, and by working with UK partners through a high level advisory board. It will therefore build on the success of the investment secured at Battersea Power Station, by creating an easier point of entry for investors. By creating stronger links with local and national partners, RIO will help to remove some of the barriers faced by partners to project delivery, which will enable sustainable jobs and growth across the regions within the UK”. Sir Michael Bear, RIO Chairman
