Our event gallery

We tackle the 'big topics' and bring you the leading voices in the property sector to provoke discussion and create an environment for change.

Each event is a labour of love, but these are just a few of our favourites!

Commercial Property - Trends and Opportunities

Gloucestershire is a thriving hub for the industrial and logistics sector, due to its proximity to the M5; as well as maintaining strong performance in the retail, mixed use and office markets.

Our panel of experts discussed market, legal, economic and financial considerations, as well as highlighting major commercial developments in the county.

We were delighted to welcome special guests, Suzi Carter, Investor and Founder of Commercial Property Academy and Phil Clement from Invest in Gloucestershire.

Getting Britain Building Again

As the government approached its first 100 days in power, there were promises to 'get Britain building again' in a bid to tackle the housing crisis and kickstart economic growth.

We were delighted to welcome special guest, Peter Cardwell, Talk TV Presenter and Chief Political Correspondent, as our panel examined the key policies and legislation and the issues they present for developers and the property community.

The Road Ahead for Rental

This Forum looked at the current status of the private rental market and the road ahead for the sector. As the Renter's Rights Bill entered the statute book, we brought together housing experts and legal/finance professionals to unpack this landmark piece of legislation and assess the impact on landlords and investors.

We were joined by special guest, Eddie Hughes, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Rough Sleeping and Housing at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities - 2021-2022 and our panel of experts provided practical advice and solutions to ensure that private rental remains a viable and attractive investment.

UK Housing Crisis

This special Forum focused on the UK housing crisis, with special guests - leading UK Planning Barrister, Christopher Young KC and renowned housing expert, Kate Davies, CBE.

With the government’s 2019 housing target in tatters and a general election on the horizon, our panel discussed the scale of the housing crisis and the key issues involved in a lack of housing availability and delivering quality and affordable housing for all.

Inspiring Women in Property

Our Inspiring Women events bring together inspirational females in the property sector. At each event, we meet a special guest and shine a light on females blazing their trail across the sector. We hear about their lives, careers and personal journey - truly inspiring stories!

Election Special

Just two days ahead of the UK General Election, we welcomed Parliamentary Candidates, Rt. Hon Alex Chalk KC (Cons) and Max Wilkinson (Lib Dem), along with Former No.10 Director of Communications and columnist for The Times, Katie Perrior.

Our discussion covered manifesto promises and issues affecting the property sector, along with the policies proposed by the major political parties. Topics covered housing policy, planning reform and renters rights, as well as sustainable development and net zero targets.

Challenges and Opportunities for Developers

Our panel of property experts discussed the issues faced by developers, with particular attention to land and site acquisition, financing, legal requirements and planning regulations.

We looked at how we can work with landlords and property owners to see their buildings through new eyes and consider the potential for different purposes or design, generating new rental income and putting money back into the maintenance pot.
