The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) and Aviva Capital Partners Limited have formed a strategic partnership to promote economic growth, innovation, and housing development in South Yorkshire. This collaboration represents a significant step towards accomplishing SYMCA’s goal of establishing a more robust, fairer, and greener economy for the region. Through this agreement, both entities aim to leverage the potential of South Yorkshire by utilizing Aviva’s expertise to support SYMCA’s aspiration for sustainable economic development by attracting private investment. This partnership, endorsed by the four local authorities in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield, is intended to deliver positive results for the local economy and communities.
As a leading company in the region with its 1,800-member workforce based in Sheffield, Aviva will work in close collaboration with SYMCA to unlock private investment in South Yorkshire that aligns with the Authority’s objectives. Aviva Capital Partners, Aviva’s in-house investment division, is committed to originating regeneration, housing, and infrastructure assets using Aviva’s group capital to enhance the prosperity, inclusivity, and sustainability of the places and communities it serves.
Mayor Oliver Coppard of South Yorkshire stated: “The ongoing transformation and redevelopment of cities and towns in South Yorkshire, along with the rich cultural and industrial heritage of the region, offer numerous opportunities for increased private investment in our area. Working closely with Aviva, I am looking forward to this collaboration bringing about opportunities for South Yorkshire as we accelerate the growth of new businesses, foster innovation, and promote modern construction methods for residential development.” The Mayor added: “Our housing vision for South Yorkshire emphasises the availability of quality, affordable, and sustainable housing contributing to a net-zero economy. With the requirement for approximately 5,000 new homes annually, including 2,000 affordable homes, this is the beginning of a cooperative approach to address the needs of South Yorkshire residents who deserve access to secure, affordable housing for themselves and their families.”
John Cummins, CEO of Aviva Capital Partners, said, “Aviva has a strong presence in South Yorkshire and is committed to boosting the region’s economy through this new partnership with SYMCA. We’re excited to support sustainable economic growth, infrastructure, and housing through private investment.”
