Here are some key tips/comments taken from delegates who attended this event:
"Great first introduction to the Exchange, was thoroughly impressed and left with bags of energy"

"Value obtained - learning that I was not alone in the cash obsession phases I sometimes go through!!!"
"Always keep the bank up to speed - GOOD and BAD times"
"This is a good time to get investors as their options are limited with the property market being depressed"
