Sarah Edmundson, CEO of Agents Together, recounts the beginnings of the new charity to support and mentor agents and reports on successes to date.

Agents Together has launched a five-week programme of face-to-face and online help for agents who are, or may be, losing their jobs.

The Bruce brother is one of the first four business mentors being offered up to agents who need some advice on how to run their agencies by Agents Together.

It won't be popular with some agents who view Michael Bruce's legacy dimly, but the foundation is backed with £1 million of his personal wealth.
