Property Professionals’ Lunch makes triumphant return

Sell-out event was staged at the Hotel Du Vin, Brighton, on January 26, where Sophie Campbell-Adams, of Britton & Time Solicitors, and Dan Skipp, of White House Block Management debuted as hosts.

The atmosphere has been described as “electric” and the organisers said the “day ran like a well-oiled machine”. 

After enjoying a glass of bubbles and open networking, Sophie and Dan kicked the afternoon off with a lively welcome speech announcing the plan for the afternoon and thanking Searches UK for their dedication to the event over the years. 

Keith Carr, of Brighton & Hove Financial Consultants, enthralled the crowd with his origin story including a few amusing anecdotes and outlining the services the company can offer. 

Donna Holland, CEO of Rockinghorse Children’s Charity, spoke about a major project they are fundraising for this year which centres around children’s mental health. We can’t wait to hear how this develops as the year goes on. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, the charity raised a huge £670 following the raffle.

Last, but certainly not least, the guest speaker took to the stage – the highly amusing TV personality, wine expert, podcast host, author and columnist Olly Smith. He provided the guests with some fantastic wine tips, alongside great stories from his career so far, including his appearance on ‘Wine Idol’.

Listening to speeches can really work up a thirst (and hunger) which was satisfied by a beautiful three-course meal, with plenty of wine, prepared and served by the staff at Hotel Du Vin.

In addition to the property elites, they were honoured to have their sponsors in the crowd: Brighton & Hove Financial Consultants as the main sponsor; Mansell McTaggart as the drinks sponsor and their year-long partners: media partner County Business Clubs, print partner Connect Media and charity partner Rockinghorse. They are also excited to announce that their headline sponsor for the remainder of 2023 is Creative Pod.

Sophie and Dan said of the success: “We were blown away by the support and positive feedback from all the guests along with the sponsors who played a vital role in the success on the day.  We would like to thank everyone involved and cannot wait to welcome back old friend and even more new faces to the next event.”
