There has never been a more rapid rate of change in the preservation sector, so with just 26 days to go, can you afford to miss it...?
Our recent Structural Waterproofing conference was hugely successful and to give you an insight into what you might miss out on at the forthcoming Property Care Conference, why not check out the video from the event via the button below!
