Movers & Shakers

What Movers & Shakers does

Movers & Shakers (legally Movers & Shakers Property Breakfast Club Ltd, registered in England, Reg. No. 3467193) is a UK-based membership networking and events business operating exclusively in the UK Real Estate sector since 1996. The company curates access to senior decision-makers across private developers, investors, agents, surveyors, lawyers, funds, housebuilders, and central/local government, maintaining a network of 3,000+ contacts gated through tiered membership to enforce seniority and a balanced private/public sector mix. Its core proposition is convening the "Who's Who in UK Real Estate" at premium venues, primarily The Savoy in London, alongside regional venues.

The company's product surface is built around a flagship Property Networking Breakfast Club at The Savoy, half-day Core Forums "On Location" at key London developments (150-200 attendees), two flagship annual conferences (12th BTR Forum and 3rd Creative Industries Property Summit), and a Virtual Events Platform (Monday Morning Motivations, Webinars, Market Insights, Views from the Top) reaching 350+ virtual community members. Underlying technology is a conventional event management and membership portal stack with online booking, a members directory portal, secure payment processing (Sagepay), and SSL encryption, with no proprietary AI/ML or API surface disclosed. The corporate+ membership tier is deliberately capped at 12 organisations per year to preserve exclusivity.

Revenue is generated through four streams: annual memberships (£415-£7,120+VAT across four tiers), one-off event ticket sales (Breakfast Forums £145-175+VAT, conferences £236-425+VAT), sponsorship packages (Breakfast/Core Forum sponsors at £5,950+VAT per event, Private Dinner Partnerships £3,500-£5,950+VAT, Virtual Event Partners £4,000+VAT, Community Platform Lead Sponsorship up to £25,000+VAT annually), and branded table hosting at The Savoy. GTM is community-led with sales-led execution through a 4-person core team (Managing Director, Chairman, Head of Operations, Events Coordinator), supported by 12 industry supporter organisations (Opportunity London, Urban Land Institute, London Councils, Future of London, London Property Alliance, etc.). The company operates from Windsor (HQ and registered office in High Wycombe) with no disclosed investors, no funding rounds, and a sister entity The Regional Property Network Ltd trading as Movers and Shakers Regional.

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY): NYC-based trade association running senior real estate networking events, awards and policy forums for the New York market. Closest US analogue in terms of model (membership-style senior real estate convener) but operates in a different geography.

Direct peers

• Property Week: UK property trade publication (owned by emap/RELX) running awards and industry events serving the same UK commercial and residential real estate professional audience as Movers & Shakers. Directly comparable on audience and end-market, with adjacent rather than competing events portfolio.
• Estates Gazette: Long-running UK commercial real estate intelligence title and events business owned by RELX. Targets the same senior UK property professional audience and runs comparable industry awards and networking events.
• Bisnow: Global commercial real estate events and media business running local networking events (including Bisnow London). Direct peer on the events-and-networking side of the UK CRE market, though at significantly larger scale and with a younger professional demographic than Movers & Shakers.
• UKREiiF (UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum): Annual UK real estate investment and infrastructure forum held in Leeds, attracting senior public and private sector property leaders. Most direct UK-based peer to Movers & Shakers in terms of audience (senior RE decision-makers), format (multi-day networking forum), and end-market (UK real estate investment).

Broad incumbents

• MIPIM: Major international real estate exhibition owned by RX (RELX) held annually in Cannes. Serves an overlapping senior investor/developer audience but operates at global scale and as part of a much broader events portfolio — a broader incumbent rather than a direct niche competitor.
• CoStar Group: Dominant global CRE data, analytics and media company that has expanded into UK events via the CoStar Awards and related networking formats. Significantly larger and broader; competes for the same senior audience attention at the top of the funnel.

Others

• Future of London: London-focused property and development think tank already supporting Movers & Shakers events. Runs its own knowledge-sharing and networking programmes for the same audience; not a commercial competitor but an adjacent enabling organisation.
• Urban Land Institute (ULI): Global real estate research and education organisation that already supports Movers & Shakers events as a partner. ULI runs its own senior networking programmes (e.g. UK Annual Conference) but as a broader membership body rather than a competing commercial events business — adjacent ecosystem player.

Emerging players

• London Real Estate Forum: Annual London real estate networking forum targeting senior investors, developers and public-sector leaders — directly comparable audience and format to Movers & Shakers' Core Forums, though operating with a more event-led (rather than membership-led) commercial model.
