ARLA Chief Executive David Cox to leave post today, Propertymark confirms
David Cox, the Chief Executive of ARLA Propertymark is leaving the organisation today without an interim period or handover. “The Board of Propertymark would like to thank David for his significant contribution in his time to the development of ARLA Propertymark, and wish him well in his future endeavours,” a statement from Propertymark says. But the trade association has given no details of why Cox has left, but is rumoured that his bid to head up the unified organisation – which was announced earlier this month – had not been possible. It is also rumoured that Propertymark are looking for fresh blood to lead the organisation including the possibility of someone with a non-industry track record. Cox’s departure has been triggered by the retirement of Mark Hayward, which was announced 3rd July and the restructure of the organisation that followed. It is understood that Propertymark is to lose all its distinct subdivisions and become a unified organisation without the ‘ARLA’ and ‘NAEA’ prefixes. Cox joined ARLA in 2014 as its MD before being made its Chief Executive, having previously been a senior policy officer at the National Landlords Association for five years. Cox’s departure is particularly baffling as both he…

The Negotiator Conference & Expo 2019
The grand halls and corridors of London’s Grosvenor Hotel on Park Lane were buzzing with hundreds of delegates, speakers and exhibitors on the 29th November 2019, as they arrived to join The Negotiator Conference 2019. In this stunning venue, with a reputation for first class guest speakers and panel sessions offering hard hitting debate between property leaders such as Michael Stoop, Nick Leeming, Lucy Morton, Lord Best, Peter Bolton King and David Cox (plus many more), The Negotiator Conference stage was ready. Lord Best drew gasps from the audience when he suggested that the end of the small or ‘accidental’ landlord is nigh, that the PRS will increasingly be supplied by larger-portfolio operators. The focus was the property industry in 2020 – exploring what the future holds for sales and letting agents in today’s volatile business environment, including Brexit, regulation, customer hesitation, technology, online agents, diminishing high street footfall, taxation, money laundering, tenant fees and (the then) looming General Election. Brilliantly chaired by The Times columnist Lord Daniel Finkelstein OBE, speakers included leading estate agency senior management, industry consultants, analysts, regulators, industry association chiefs and tech innovators. Going to conferences is more than just listening to debates and, as ever…
