On Friday 8th March 2024, at The Brewery in London, we held a spectacular event showcasing the remarkable achievements within the Fine & Country network, while providing invaluable insights on the property sector and vision for the brand during 2024. Our conference, entitled 'Dare to be Iconic' saw agents from across the globe join us in the capital for an informative and enjoyable day, and night, of celebrations.
Nicky Stevenson, Managing Director of Fine & Country, highlighted this event's significance in bringing together professionals from across the globe. "The Fine & Country Conference and Awards Gala serves as a focal point for our global network of delegates, providing unparalleled opportunities for networking, learning, and celebration," she said.
The conference featured an impressive line-up of speakers and industry experts, including keynote speaker David Abbott, a renowned expert on pricing strategies. Abbott’s session titled ‘Dare to be Expensive: How to Price your Platypus’ offered invaluable insights into driving revenue growth through effective pricing strategies. Other notable presentations included discussions on the integration of AI in businesses by Ben Sellers, Co-founder of Starberry, and a success story shared by Jonathan Handford and Vanessa Bradford from Fine & Country Droitwich Spa, who achieved remarkable growth in their market. International speakers such as Bruce Hawker and Zoie Hawker from Fine & Country Algarve provided insights into the nuances of local markets, enriching the conference with diverse perspectives from around the world.
