To spread the word about some of the opportunities available locally, Doncaster Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with local Chartered Accountants Allotts and the RBS commercial team to host a breakfast forum looking at recent developments and the opportunities that are available in the market.

Taking place on November 9th at Doncaster Rugby Club Building for Success - Commercial Property in Doncaster, is a free event that aims to equip those attending with the knowledge they need to survive and thrive in this fast moving market.

Speakers include Steve Bird from 3D, Doncaster's regeneration partnership and Anuj Joshi from Priority Sites, the organisation behind some of the major developments in the region such as the Icon First Point Business Park. Neil Rockett from The Royal Bank of Scotland Property Finance division will demonstrate how the bank can help through a flexible approach to investment and development funding. Kirstie Williamson of Allotts Chartered Accountants will look at the tax implications of property deals and how to make sure that your newly acquired assets don't become a tax liability.

Clare Ibbotson, Associate Director, The Royal Bank of Scotland South Yorkshire Commercial Banking, said:

"This is an exciting time for Doncaster and it is essential that companies gain a good understanding of what is happening in the market place in order to take advantage of the opportunities. We're aiming to ensure that local businesses are in a strong position to make the most of Doncaster's property scene."

Kirstie Williamson, Senior Tax Manager, Allotts said:

"Too often the tax implications of property deals are overlooked or not considered until the deal is almost complete. Getting the right advice at the right time can make the difference between a deal which has tax advantages and one which proves to have painful financial consequences for those involved."

All businesses from Doncaster and the surrounding area are warmly invited to attend. To reserve your free place contact Tessa Stephens on 01709 828400.
