Broker News+ is now launched
Today we are unveiling a new section of the website – which we’ve trailed before – designed to give you greater insight into the leasing broker market. It’s called Broker News+. There are deep dives into sector issues as well as interviews and market analysis from sector experts.
We’ll also soon be launching the Broker News awards through Broker News+. While the majority of Broker News remains free to access, we are introducing a modest subscription to reflect our investment in the greater depth coverage Broker News+ entails. There’s a free trial period so give it a go – tell us what you think.
