Franchise News: New Board Launch

By Steve Roulstone

Twice a year all of the Castle Estates offices get together for a Network Day and later this week we will be holding our autumn meeting in Birmingham. These are days that I always look forward to and once again we will have a busy day ahead of us, with presenters from all aspects of our Industry and new ideas being discussed whilst old acquaintances catch up with each other.

Network Day agenda

We will be looking at new Landlord marketing ideas as well as reviewing the plans discussed last Spring, discussing the Tenants Deposit Scheme with a senior representative from one of the Government approved schemes, looking at how an Insurance and Referencing Company who we do not currently employ can possible give us better service and discussing new training methods as well as catching up with the current training schedule and planning. Not forgetting to mark the progress we continue to strive for in our web profile. A busy day for all!

Board Launch

But the most exciting part of the day for me, will be the launch of our new ‘To Let’ board, pictured above. Of course, as offices have needed to replenish supplies, they have started to use the new board over the last two months, but we still need to mark that official moment in time when the old boards are no longer available and because we have advertised the event, with most offices having the ability to comment about the design over the last six months, our offices will be ready for the change and order new stock without delay.

Marking the new era.

This is what is most significant for me, as a group we are now focused with the future in mind and the new board for me is the centre of that focus, significant in its message and new style of design, it mirrors the way in which Castle Estates has changed over the last 18 months and is a visual declaration of our intent to move in to a new era of style and Management. Bring on the future!
