Property professionals in and around Southampton gathered for another engaging Brunch & Learn event. This time, the event is in partnership with Sillence Hurn, and hosted at the Southampton Utilita Bowl on March 6th, 2024. With nearly 50 local property professionals in attendance, this event marked another successful addition to our Foundations for Better Futures initiative.

The event kicked off with a diverse group of property professionals networking over brunch. Attendees ranged from real estate agents to valuers, architects, solicitors, and developers. To get the most out of the morning, the event was structured to enable knowledge sharing, with plenty of time to discuss the seminars with other attendees. This way we ensured attendees left with actionable insights.
