Contributors Adam Landau
Adam Landau’s career started when he was a buyer for United Overseas Group Plc where he was tasked with heading up a new consumer software wholesale division for the group who were the UK’s leading purchasers of overstocks. Landau thereafter moved into the commercial property market. Dissatisfied with the conflict in the market where agencies only represent the interests of landlords and not tenants, Landau joined DeVono founder Robert Leigh in 2004 to help grow the company which has since held the record for having acquired the highest number of offices for companies moving into and around London for the past five years.

Charlie Lawson
Charlie is the national Director of BNI, an organisation that helps SMEs build better businesses by encouraging groups of likeminded business people to actively generate valuable business referrals for one another, share knowledge, expertise and even resources in a spirit of collaborative, selfless enterprise called “Givers’ Gain”. BNI sets up groups of professionals, with only one person per business category per group, and teaches those groups how to be supremely effective at finding word of mouth referrals for each other. Charlie’s goal is to help BNI members in the UK and Ireland pass £1bn of referral business every year.
