BANG THE DRUM
Welcome to T
here is so much going on in this issue and in the PROPERTYdrumoffices, this month I hardly know where to start! No sooner had we settled down after the PROPERTYdrum and NALS Conference than the real development of our plans for the Property Professional Show 2011 swung into gear.
With a huge London venue and an Awards dinner that can only be described as ‘mega’,
there is a massive amount to do; but it’s great fun! We have an outline of the event in this month’s magazine and I’d like to ask you all to book some time now to attend the show – you won’t regret it because it is going to be simply amazing. This year, most of the visitors were directors or owners and the feedback was really
PROPERTYdrum is the one place you can freely express yourselves in a sensible, professional medium.’
encouraging; it seems they were checking it out for themselves and plan to bring key members of staff next year. That’s fine by us, we know that there will be plenty of room and something for everyone, in every property sector, to enjoy. But that’s all six months away. Right now we have another packed issue for you, with an increasing part of it actually written by you – letters, articles, comment, feedback, it’s all coming in thick and fast these days, as readers appreciate that PROPERTYdrum is the one place where you can freely express yourselves in a sensible, professional medium. Keep it coming! I love to hear your news and views! Our main features this month are
Rebranding, Video Technology, Spain and
Portugal, Lettings Insurances and Foreign Exchange; all fascinating in-depth pieces. There’s much more besides, we have an interview with Ivor Dickinson of Douglas &
Gordon, a piece about association discipline and a missive from the Property Ombudsman. Our new section, Mortgage News will be a regular slot (assuming there are mortgages to write about of course) and we have the usual popular slots for news, appointments, openings and another new page – Letters. I’d really like lots more letters so please spare a few moments to tell me what you like, don’t like about the industry right now. Just email me,
Sheila@propertydrum.com.
