"Always enjoy the opportunity to network with peers in the industry at Movers & Shakers in 2024 and share experiences. Was great to be a speaker and a delegate listening to others".

James Saunders, Chief Executive Officer - Quintain

 

"Speaking at the Movers & Shakers conference was a rare opportunity to engage with a dynamic group of visionaries on the panel. It’s not often you get to exchange ideas on repurposing buildings and reimagining spaces with such a passionate, forward-thinking audience. The experience was a powerful mix of inspiration, collaboration, and fresh perspectives, leaving me more energised and committed than ever to transforming old buildings/places into vibrant new sustainable possibilities".

Tom Donnachie, Managing Director UK Investment - Amro Real Estate Partners

 

"Movers & Shakers is an excellent forum"

"It is a pleasure to speak at Movers & Shakers events which are well organised in a great space, have high quality speakers (particularly me) and are fully attended by an engaged audience who, when they leave, are in a position to influence”.

Michael Keaveney, Director of Land and Development - Grainger plc

 

 

“This was the first time I have attended a Movers & Shakers event and was delighted to take part in the panel discussion, as much as I love talking ‘talking shop’ it was also a great opportunity to listen to industry peers in different sectors who are facing similar challenges in the ever evolving world of retail real estate, all with the added benefit of networking over a coffee and breakfast". 

“What’s not to like”.

James Rayner, Head of Retail - Related Argent Ltd
