Welcome to the Fourth Episode of PCBCast: Better Call Sawle!

After the success of last year, the pressure was on to repeat the performance with a magical Annual VIP Event. An event that has inadvertently started to mark the beginning of the festive season.

In Episode 3, we turn our attention to Manchester, one of the UK's most dynamic property markets. With a rich history in industrial development and a modern focus on innovation and tech, Manchester has become a major hub for investors and developers alike.

Those of of you who saw our Summer Recap last week will be aware: PCB is now officially established in Manchester. It is with great pleasure therefore that we introduce Shaun and Teona.

In Episode 2, we talk Türkiye with Tugra Gonden of Cushman Wakefield and our very own Gamze Gonul.
