NAEA Propertymark is offering promising new estate agents ten free places to its national conference later this month as part of a bursary programme.

The bursaries, sponsored by AJ Gallagher, are designed to support novice staff who show exceptional potential.

The conference takes place on Wednesday, February 28 at 155 Bishopsgate in London and the closing date for submissions is February 14.

Mark Hayward, chief executive, NAEA Propertymark said: “We have introduced this initiative to give 10 new estate agents in the industry – who have not attended the conference before – an opportunity to be present.

“The conference is a chance to get up to speed with important industry issues, network with their peers and, receive guidance on developing as a professional.”

To enter, the person/colleague needs to submit a couple of paragraphs on the person’s role, how long they’ve been in the industry, and a paragraph about what they’ve done to demonstrate outstanding potential to events@propertymark.co.uk.
