The Big Housing Business Breakfast – 27 September, 8.30 – 10.00am

Don't forget, our next HFi Housing Business Breakfast will be held between 8.30am and 10.00am on 27 September 2017, at Trowers & Hamilns offices at 3 Bunhill Row, London EC1Y 8YZ.

We are delighted to announce that we will be joined by Mark Davis, the build-to-rent champion for the Department for Communities and Local Government.

This is one of our regular cross-sector industry breakfasts. It will be hosted jointly by the HFi and Trowers & Hamlins, a multinational law firm. Rob Beiley, a HFi Director and Partner at Trowers & Hamlins, will be leading the breakfast. Rob has a wealth of experience in local authority finance, regeneration and commercial housing joint venture and other work.

As well as our usual market updates and discussions, the breakfast will have the latest on the build to rent market. With various political and macroeconomic headwinds, 'build to rent' is expected to remain an important part of the overall national housing delivery strategy.
