Summer in the City Networking Event | Laurence Associates Exeter

Last week, our Associate Planner, Sam Fuller, enjoyed attending the Summer in the City networking event in Exeter.

The event was a wonderful summer evening, bringing together professionals from across the property, planning and construction sectors. It provided a fantastic opportunity to strengthen existing relationships, make new connections and exchange ideas with others working across the Southwest.

With our offices in both Truro and Exeter, attending events like these is an important part of staying connected to the communities we work within. Building strong relationships across Devon and Cornwall allows us to continue delivering collaborative, informed and locally focused planning and design solutions for our clients.

A big thank you to everyone involved in organising such an enjoyable evening. We look forward to attending future events.
