Shepherd and Wedderburn is delighted to announce the support of a further sponsor of Property 2014, the leading event for property professionals in Scotland.
Shepherd and Wedderburn, host of Scotland’s premier property event, Property 2014, is delighted to announce its support of LandAid, the property industry charity.
For every registration to the Property 2014 conference in Edinburgh, Shepherd and Wedderburn will make a donation to the charity.
Joanna Averley, Chief Executive Officer of LandAid stated:
The Scottish electorate has voted ‘no’ to independence. However, the ‘no’ vote will still result in constitutional change for Scotland, not least because of the pledge by all main UK political parties to devolve further powers to the Scottish Parliament. Additionally, key provisions of the Scotland Act 2012 will come into force over the next two years giving the Scottish government additional powers and a referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU is proposed for 2017.
Shepherd and Wedderburn is delighted to announce the support of a further sponsor of Property 2014, the leading event for property professionals in Scotland. PPS Group, an independent award-winning communications consultancy will join other organisations supporting the event. These include: Invest in Fife, Click-let, JC Rathbone Associates Ltd
