Property Development Forum

The recent opening of our new office means we’re often in and around Exeter, taking opportunities to meet up with our clients and establish new contacts.

Two of our planning team, Liz and Sam attended the Property Development Forum (PDF) this week, held at The Courtyard Hotel at Sandy Park in Exeter. The PDF meets in several locations across the south west and is open to all property professionals, giving the opportunity to network with existing and new contacts all in a relaxed setting.

We really enjoyed the event and had some great conversations which we’re very much looking forward to continuing over the coming weeks.
