Hello, and welcome to our latest newsletter.
We have confirmed our stand at FUTURE: PropTech in May and our plans for the ARLA Conference in April are all coming together now. If you're planning on attending either of these events make sure you stop by our stands, we've got so much to tell you.
We've also got a team for the AgentsGiving Love Mud Challenge. Chris, Duwayne, Ricardo and Tim have all bravely agreed to take part in the 7k mud-fest and the rest of us can't wait to stand on the sidelines cheering them on (whilst staying clean and dry!). The details are below if you'd like to sponsor us, we would really appreciate it. If you're going to be there make sure you let us know!
Have a great February!
