Reviews:

Always an insightful evening at Brenadan’s events.

Lots of familiar faces as well as new ones to catch up with at the networking both before and after the speakers. Well worth staying for afterwards, the knowledge in the room is worthy of the ticket price in itself. if you need a second opinion or a bit of advice, guaranteed to be the right person in the room. If you are unsure who to speak to, ask Brendan- he is great at connecting you to the right person / people, the ‘little black book’ of the property world he has built up over many years’.

Good deals have formed from this network at the bar after I am sure, the atmosphere created makes it possible to connect in good faith, and grateful to be part of the evening.

Nicola Brown

One of Brendan’s biggest strengths is his reach and connectivity in UK real estate. Particularly amongst SME developers, investors and other property professionals. He has a great ability to create events that bring together all these connections. His annual National Development Summit is a highlight that any good investor or property professional must attend.

Manish Kataria, InvestLikeAPro

I’ve known Brendan for over 8 years and have been attending his events for all of this time. He attracts quality speakers and attendees who are actively investing in property and/or property development. I know many people who have done business with each other and formed quality relationships as a result of meeting at Brendan Quinn’s events.
