HEFMA conference 2024: Round up

Experts from our estates consultancy businesses Shared Agenda, Community Ventures and Assure Advisory attended the HEFMA 2024 forum in Telford, which was hosted by the North West HEFMA team, and had the title ‘All Change: On A Track To Recovery’.

Across the jam-packed two days, delegates enjoyed some really fantastic sessions (Chief Exec of Community Ventures, Emma Bolton has been a regular HEFMA attendee over the years and she said 2024 sessions were up there with the best!) covering hot topics in engaging ways. From the satirical style of Dr Phil Hammond, to the motivational talk at the end of day one from Drew Povey about personal resilience and leadership.

It was fantastic to meet so many of our NHS partners, and thanks to all who popped by our stand to see us. It was great to see some old faces, and meet lots of new ones too, and we had some really interesting chats around the estates challenges you’re facing. If you’d like to continue those conversations further, please get in touch.
