Clarke Willmott’s leading social housing team hosted a well-attended lunch for key players in the industry following this year’s CIH South West Conference.

The event took place over lunch at The Clayton Hotel, with more than 90 attendees from across the sector including registered providers, registered social landlords, housebuilders, architects, banks, property agents and planning consultants.

Vicky Kells, Kary Withers and Oliver Smedley from Clarke Willmott’s senior social housing leadership team led the event with support from other practice areas within the firm, namely in planning, construction, development, asset and leasehold management, financing, home sales, corporate and commercial.

Kary Withers, managing director of Clarke Willmott’s property services division, said: “It was great to catch up with contacts, suppliers and advisors in the social housing sector following the annual CIH South West conference.

“Events like this are a fantastic way to stay abreast of the issues at play within the industry and to share ideas and knowledge with our peers. It was lovely to see so many people take the time to attend.

“The CIH South West Conference is a key date on our social housing team’s calendar so to maximise the event in this way was great.”

Clarke Willmott’s social housing team is one of the biggest in the UK. The firm has offices in Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, London, Manchester, Southampton and Taunton.

Clarke Willmott is hosting its annual Housing Week this year on 10-12 October, with 13 online events led by expert lawyers and guest speakers. For more information or to register interest visit www.clarkewillmott.com
