In June 2009, a lot of hard work talking to and gathering case studies from those in the real estate sector came to a conclusion when my third book Growing your property partnership - Plans, promotion and people - Plans, promotion and people was published in June 2009. My thanks are due to the participating firms (some of were and remain clients: Brown & Co, Chase Buchanan, Chase & Partners, Cluttons, Coda Studios, Colliers CRE, Douglas & Gordon, Drivers Jonas, Henry Adams, Pellings, RICS, Spacelab and Stiles Harold Williams).
I have been a regular visitor of the London office of Stiles Harold Williams where I work with partners in the management, building surveying, retail, planning and rating teams.
Following the major strategic review for Central London agents and surveyors E A Shaw towards the end of 2009, I was delighted to accept their invitation to become a Non Executive Director in 2010 and subsequently spent time with them regularly in Covent Garden. My support of the marketing and business development team there continues.
And although I no longer have a regular column there, I still write occasional articles for Estates Gazette.
