On Wednesday 2 July 2025, B&E Boys were pleased to attend the inaugural Place NW Property Lunch at the Voco Hotel, Manchester. Representing the company was John Boys, who joined senior figures from across the property and construction sector for an insightful afternoon of discussion and networking.
The event, hosted by Place North West, brought together industry leaders to share perspectives on the future of development, investment, and regeneration across the region. Speakers included:
-
Alistair Chapman, Executive Director – UK Development Advisory, CBRE
-
Guy Butler, Director, Glenbrook

With topics ranging from the challenges of urban development to opportunities for sustainable growth, the lunch provided not only valuable knowledge but also the chance to connect with like-minded professionals.
