This ensures an integrity and engagement with the regional community which we believe is essential to the continued success of the UK Property Forum format.
Who we are?
Established in May 2004, Battle Associates is a team of professionals who can ensure the editorial content of each Forum, general organisation and sponsorship management. Skills are drawn from across the built environment and media sector, ensuring a balance between editorial and practical 'delivery' management of each event.
