CEO's Column

As we put the finishing touches to our arrangements for ULI Europe’s Annual Conference it becomes increasingly clear that there is no better time for industry leaders to get together than times like these – when market uncertainties, the limited availability of property finance, new regulatory frameworks and government spending cuts make it difficult for anyone to see a clear way through.
