A series of property and construction networking events in Bath has been kicked off by TV property expert, journalist and author Martin Roberts.
The presenter of BBC One’s property auction show Homes Under The Hammer, pictured, was invited to launch the group at Hall and Woodhouse in Old King Street. 
The inaugural event was jointly organised by law firm Stone King, which has an office in Bath, city chartered surveyors Colston & Colston and kitchen design and manufacturing company Airedale Group.
About 30 local property and construction professionals attended the event and discussed a range of issues, including the likely impact of the general election on their sector. Guests also included Martin Veal, who is the outgoing chairman of Bath and North East Somerset Council.
Stone King head of construction Julia Davenport-Cooper said: “This was a great opportunity for local professionals working in property and construction to network in an informal way and discuss matters affecting our sector. The event was a big success and we look forward to hosting the next one very soon.”
Martin Roberts added: “It’s great that Bath now has its own property networking group, giving fellow professionals in Bath the chance to meet and exchange ideas. I look forward to attending the next event with the area’s key movers and shakers.” The next event will be held on July 23 at 6pm in Hall and Woodhouse.
