I shall be chairing the inaugural Rent Magazine Conference on Thursday 20th April 2017. It promises to be an extremely interesting conference with key speakers and panalists from within this exciting emerging sector.
Following the conference is the dinner at which the 'Rent Awards' winners will be revealed. Was incredibly honoured to be one of the judges. It was very difficult to choose between some quite excellent entrants.
Deatils of the conference can be found here: http://www.rentmagazine.co.uk/events-and-training/rent-conference-2017
I look forward to seeing you all there. Richard.
