For many years, The NBR List carried a negative label: RICH. Amid the pandemic in 2020, the decision was made to skip the List, as the audience was uninterested in hearing from affluent individuals unless they offered valuable advice. However, in 2021, The NBR List was relaunched. It now showcases inspirational insights and philanthropic innovation, resonating with a broader audience. Despite the positive reception, not all individuals wish to be featured. This year, we faced another legal challenge from someone unhappy with their own success. Nevertheless, those who embrace our mission generously share their time and stories, shedding light on both challenging and rewarding experiences. Join us on Monday, June 10th to celebrate the unsung heroes featured in The NBR List. Let their stories of resilience and bravery inspire you. NBR - National Business Review.

A brilliant AGM with great speakers answering challenging questions on everything data, change, innovation, regulation and compliance. I particularly liked the question - why will it change now, haven’t we heard it all before? The answer - because it has to, with technical advancements, consumer demand and collaboration. It’s not just upfront information, that’s just part of the change, it’s everything but most important a change in mindset from everyone involved estate agents, lawyers, lenders, banking, land registry etc Refreshingly challenging and forward thinking. #changemakers #industryleaders #regulation
