Clifford Devlin joined forces with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) to deliver a seminar on the commercial aspects of asbestos management. Arranged through the RICS Matrics programme, the seminar was delivered to 25 delegates at the Montcalm Hotel in the City of London. The 60-minute presentation was followed by a networking session with complimentary refreshments in the Hotel’s private bar.
The seminar entitled “How to Save a Small Fortune on Asbestos Management” was presented by Paul Clarke-Scholes of Clifford Devlin’s Asbestos Division and introduced by Fergus McCloskey, Managing Director of asbestos consultancy Global Environmental.
