Friday 31st July 2009

Bell & Scott has announced sponsors of their annual property conference which takes place on Wednesday 2nd September 2009 at the EICC, Edinburgh. Sponsors of the highly popular event include AMA (New Town) Ltd, Malcolm Hollis and JC Rathbone. The event produced by Bell & Scott in association with the Scottish Property Federation, is already attracting high profile delegates, and promises to be the most important event for the Scottish property industry this year.

AMA has grown over the past two decades to become the most respected, highly awarded, property development business in Scotland. Current developments include Edinburgh’s city centre neighbourhood development, Springside, which comprises over 600 new homes, 140,000 sq ft of office space, shops and facilities set in an eight acre landscape of parks and open spaces. Springside is a joint venture between AMA, Grosvenor and the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Malcolm Hollis is one of the UK’s longest established and fastest growing commercial building consultants, with a network of offices across the UK and Ireland. They have been around for long enough to shape the market - in fact they are recognised leaders in dilapidations – as well as specialists in due diligence surveys, development monitoring and neighbourly matters.

JC Rathbone Associates Ltd provides Financial Risk Management and Structured Finance services. Through the use of structured hedging strategies JCRA helps clients generate improved profitability. The service is tailored to the unique circumstances of each client.

Paul Jennings, Bell & Scott’s Managing Partner and Chairman of the event comments:

“This conference is a crucial event for everyone involved in the property industry. I am delighted that AMA, Malcolm Hollis and JC Rathbone have chosen to support the event, and I look forward to debating the key issues facing the industry with speakers and delegates.”

Behnam Afshar, Director of AMA (New Town) Ltd comments:

“AMA is delighted to be sponsoring this most prestigious event. It is such an important occasion given the current market conditions, as this conference will provide a platform for speakers to share their knowledge and experiences with delegates, as well as creating an excellent networking opportunity for the industry.”
