Property Managers Association – Presidency

After 3 years as President of the PMA Joe Simons is to handover to James Hamilton at the PMA Conference in May.

“I have had a very enjoyable time over the last 3 years and feel proud of the achievements that the Executive and I have made.

We have further cemented our position as a key partner in landlord and tenant dialogue in particular through the work we have done with British Property Federation and British Council of Shopping Centres.

Continued pressure on costs, flexibility in leasing structures and future development pipeline remain key areas for the PMA to focus on in the future.

Our profile will continue to be well looked after by your President ably supported by the Executive. I will continue to serve on the Executive.

I thank all, both within the PMA and more widely for the support and encouragement over the last 3 yrs.”
