Bath Property Awards 2024 Showguide by MediaClash

WELCOME

THE BATH PROPERTY AWARDS ARE HERE

Welcome to the Bath Property Awards and thank you for all your support.

Look around: this is the largest gathering of property professionals in the Bath area. The sector is bounding back. Confidence is rising, opportunities are emerging, business is being done.

From resi to commercial to civic; from agents to architects; consultants to contractors; developments, designers, legal and financial; from established businesses to ones to watch and rising stars – all are here today.

The Bath Property Awards champion the very best in the city, whether indies or regional players or national even international companies. All contribute, all see value. And when all contribute and all come together, all benefit.

There’ll be ample opportunity today for networking, business meetings, passing chats, brief encounters, happenstance bar chats and all the conversations that lead to business.

Please check the In Good Company brochure on your table. It lists the attending companies and which tables they are on. It’s a valuable business development tool. And likewise, this Showguide lists all the Finalists: many familiar – but also many that may not be. This region teems with smart property companies…

With all the clever companies here, all the energy, all the opportunities, we hope you enjoy the day and benefit from the Bath Property Awards. And we hope good contacts and great businesses comes from it.

Business starts with a conversation? OK, let the hubbub commence…
