The Guild of Property Professionals launches 2025 Local Meetings Tour

Latest news on Guild services Iain McKenzie, CEO of The Guild of Property Professionals 29th January 2025

The Guild of Property Professionals is proud to announce the launch of its 2025 season of local meetings, beginning on 19 February 2025 the tour will run until 22 October 2025. These regional events will take place across the UK, providing Guild Members with invaluable opportunities to learn, collaborate, and strengthen their networks.

 

These meetings are designed to foster a sense of community among Guild Members, enabling them to share insights and discuss region-specific challenges. As independent estate agencies, Guild Members benefit from the support of a robust network of property professionals who can offer guidance and expertise. With the Guild, independent estate agents are empowered to operate in business for themselves, but not by themselves.

 

Joe Rattue, Senior Account Manager at The Guild of Property Professionals, highlights the importance of these gatherings: “Many of our single-office Members find great value in connecting with their peers. These meetings are a chance to thrive together, sharing advice and strategies that make each Member stronger.”

 

Steven McCabe, Account Manager at The Guild, echoes this sentiment: “The local meetings are a fantastic forum for Members to exchange best practices and solutions that have worked in overcoming challenges. We aim to include a representative from the National Advisory Council at each meeting to provide additional insight.”

 

Beyond peer collaboration, the meetings also serve as a platform for Guild Account Managers to connect directly with Members. Managers will share updates about network developments, market analysis, and key insights from property market data. Each session aligns with the Guild’s core mission: to help Members increase profitability, reduce costs, and remain compliant with industry regulations.

 

Iain McKenzie, CEO of The Guild of Property Professionals, says: “As always, our goal is to support our Members and ensure that they have what they need to succeed and grow their businesses. Many independent agencies are competing with larger corporate brands with more resource – being a part of a network such as the Guild provides them with access to a wide range of tools, services, and expertise that can level the playing field. By collaborating and sharing best practices, our Members can enhance their offerings, build stronger relationships with their clients, and ultimately achieve greater success in an increasingly competitive market."

 

With a packed schedule ahead, The Guild of Property Professionals looks forward to an engaging and productive 2025 local meeting tour. For more details about meeting dates and locations, Guild Members are encouraged to contact their Account Manager.
