THE Liverpool Property Club held its second event last month at the Noble House restaurant and is proving to be very popular.

It was launched by Innov8 Safety Solutions, in partnership with construction consultancy firm Sutcliffe, Todd & Ledson quantity surveyors, and Nobles Construction.

There are a lot of networking and business facilitating events in Liverpool and Merseyside, but I and others felt that we wanted to put the focus directly on the property sector.

The aim was to create an informal and relaxed event that was specific for businesses and individuals in the property and construction industry.

The Liverpool Property Club launched in November with more than 100 professionals and decision makers attending, all from recognised businesses and consultancy firms.

It is the aim of the club to develop and facilitate more business leads and deals in the region that will help boost the Merseyside economy.

Local firms are overlooked too often when contracts are being handed out for big development projects in the region.

We hope to create awareness that whatever job needs doing, there is the talent and ability available within Merseyside – companies do not have to bring in outside contractors and consultants. With an expanding pool of driven property and construction professionals in Merseyside, this club has the potential to be massive in generating more business, and we have been very pleased with the response so far.

Although the Liverpool Property Club is not a strict invitation-only affair, we do try and ensure that those who come along have a specific interest in construction and property.

There are already a variety of organisations in Merseyside that offer good general business networking opportunities, and we do not wish to become another of these.

To keep the interest of the professionals in our sector, it is important that we distinguish ourselves and do not dilute what we are doing.

We are also aiming to hold the event each quarter to keep it fresh and innovative.

We are all members of various business organisations, and I hope that the Liverpool Property Club can establish itself and at the same time work in harmony alongside these organisations.
