Testimonials
A very well-organised and useful conference covering a range of topics for practitioners working in the day-to-day running of estate administration. The delivery of the content was well-managed and ideally paced … I would highly recommend to anyone working in this field.
Two very helpful half days...[with] excellent, engaging speakers. I certainly felt as though I benefitted from those sessions. A good range of subject matter was also covered.
I found it overall a useful conference with a good spread of topics – especially in relation to new legislation
