Tony’s extensive experience across various sectors, including contract administration and project management, allowed him to provide a clear and concise overview of this crucial role in property management. His session demystified the complexities of JCT contracts, offering attendees a clearer understanding of their responsibilities and best practices.
The CPD session also included interactive Q&A segments, allowing attendees to engage directly with Iain and Tony, clarify doubts, and discuss specific scenarios relevant to their roles. This interactive approach fostered a dynamic learning environment, further enhancing the value of the presentations.
