Team Attends Michelmore’s Property Development Club in Exeter

Planning Director Liz Alexander and Design Director Mark James were pleased to attend the Michelmore’s Property Development Club, held at Sandy Park in Exeter.

The well-established event brings together professionals from across the development industry, creating an opportunity to connect, exchange knowledge and discuss current trends and opportunities within the sector.

The event also reflected the continued growth of our presence in the Southwest following the opening of our new Exeter office. Networking opportunities such as these provide valuable occasions for our team to strengthen existing relationships, meet new contacts and engage in insightful conversations surrounding property and development across the region.

It was a fantastic afternoon of discussion, collaboration and industry insight in an excellent venue at the heart of Exeter’s business community.
