Success in the Sunshine
On Wednesday 5th July the sun shone on the golfing green at the West Surrey Golf Club, Enton Green for the ever popular Property Professionals’ Lunch.
Over 70 property professionals enjoyed drinks on the Golf Club’s terrace overlooking its picturesque course set in the idyllic Surrey Hills countryside. This summer’s event saw a mix of guests from a range of businesses including developers and investors, property agents and consultancies, banks and other lending institutions, accountancy firms, law firms, property agents, and planning experts.
The glorious sunshine allowed one of the guests, David Hogg, a director at Horizon Imaging Ltd, to do a fabulous aerial photograph using a drone to capture the guests networking on the terrace. David has supplied a range of photographic and filming services to the property and construction industries since 2007.
Following on from the networking on the terrace, guests were treated to a delicious BBQ lunch and David Graham-Smith, a senior consultant at Penningtons Manches Cooper, welcomed everyone to the event making sure that he made a special welcome to nearly 20 newcomers, who had not attended the event before. In a short address David highlighted the resilience of the property market in the current challenging financial climate which he described as “a really positive sign.”
Guests at the lunch commented:
“Thank you both so much for inviting me to join you for your networking lunch this afternoon. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it was most generous of you and the rest of the team. I did enjoy meeting you both and many other like-minded folk and I look forward to working closely with Penningtons in the months and years ahead and to see you both again”. Partner at a leading estate agency
“The networking is always great at your event…I enjoy the pithy little market updates from various speakers so look forward to them again at the next one in November!” Head of Development Management at a leading developer in the south-east
“I always enjoy attending the Penningtons Property Professionals Lunch as it gives me the opportunity of catching up with colleagues, networking and meeting new people in the industry, as well as hearing about the general state of the market. There are also an excellent variety of speakers who attend the lunch, who provide informative and interesting overviews of different sectors of the property market.
