Well-known property commentator Russell Quirk is to become a shareholder in the long-running Property Investor Show as the event looks to expand and innovate.
The Property Investor Show has been a fixture of the UK property calendar since its launch in 2002 and is now held twice a year at London’s Excel Centre. Each event attracts more than 5,000 attendees and over 100 exhibitors, with total visitor numbers exceeding 250,000 since inception.
Exhibitors typically span UK and international developers and agents, alongside lenders, brokers, property educators and a wide range of specialist service providers.
Quirk has been involved with the show since 2022 as a speaker, influencer and host of expert panels covering topics including property market conditions, housing development, development finance and the implications of the Renters Rights Act.
Under the new arrangement, he will take a shareholder position and become more closely involved in the strategic direction of the event.
Quirk said: “I’m delighted to be further involved with Nick, Mike and the team in what is undoubtedly the highlight of the property investor calendar, an event that is famous for helping landlords and would-be investors to navigate the complications, nuances and changes within the resi investment space.
“The PRS has been through a number of challenges of late, politically and economically, and our April show will continue to support the sector in making the very best of this altered landscape.
“And from October’s event onwards we will aim to significantly enhance and grow the Property Investor Show offering.
“My involvement complements the ProperPR business which is going from strength to strength, delivering a 26% increase in revenue to a seven-figure sum last year and which I remain very committed to.”
Nick Clark, founder and director of the Property Investor Show, added: “The Property Investor Show is the most established event of its kind and has stood the test of time as a reliable friend to landlords, HMO owners and developers where expert advice and tools meet existing and future property entrepreneurs.
“I’m delighted that Russell is now formally a part of the ownership and management of the show and I’m sincerely looking forward to the energy, the ideas and the contacts that he will bring to the team.”
The next Property Investor Show will take place at the Excel Centre on April 17 and 18.
