Property Dinner & Drinks

Michael Peskin (Burton Bank 1980-1984) gives the low-down on where and when to party with the property fraternity, and invites new members to get in touch

We currently hold two annual London-based events for the OMs: a dinner in March at the Cavalry and Guards Club and a more informal gathering at Finos Wine Bar in September. Predominant focus at both gatherings is to catch up and socialise with friends from MHS, but also to guide and assist those OMs coming into the Property Industry who are looking for guidance about which discipline to should focus on and who within the OMs network might be able to assist?

We typically have between 25-35 attendees at the dinner and 20-30 at the drinks. At both events there is always a great mix of professional disciplines associated with the Industry, ranging from Agents, Developers, Architects, Surveyors, Engineers and Contractors. Ditto a good mixture of age groups too, so a great opportunity for some of the next generation of OMs potentially looking at pursuing a career in property to obtain some useful pointers from experienced generations within the Industry.

There are a particularly high number of successful OMs in Property. It would be impossible to name everyone, but there are notable OMs such as Nigel Wray (Ridgeway 1961-1966), Nick

Leslau (School 1973-1977), Graham Chase (1968-1971) and Charlie Green (Burton Bank 1983-1988) are definitely worth a mention. Resourcing new work opportunities looks like being the largest challenge for all in a post-pandemic world, and not where the next enquiry is going to materialise from.

Many Professional Property Consultants are accordingly now looking to recruit the next generation for this journey, so a great opportunity for those potentially interested.
