Wales Coronavirus firebreak: Early data and views from fellow agents

Recorded live on Thursday 29th October 2020

Miles Shipside will show how the Welsh market has performed during the Pandemic and give you an early view of the firebreak lock down.

We then have two agents joining us from Bidmead Cook and Dafydd Hardy to discuss how they have worked through this period and what they have put in place to maximize the opportunities during the latest lockdown and what they have planned to come out of the blocks fast once the restrictions are lifted.

We will then open the floor to any question you may have for our guests and Miles.
