32 Years of PROPS: Insights from a pioneering property industry charity event
Co-founder of one of the biggest fixtures in the industry calendar, Neil Sinclair explains how a novel idea for a property awards event became an institution that's made a difference to countless lives.
Neil Sinclair has over 60 years' experience in the real estate sector. He was co-founder of Sinclair Goldsmith, Chartered Surveyors, which was admitted to the Official List in 1987. It subsequently merged with Conrad Ritblat in 1993, when he became Executive Deputy Chairman. Neil was Chairman of Baker Lorenz, surveyors in 1999, which was sold to Hercules Property Services plc in 2001. He was appointed a non-executive director of Tops Estates plc in 2003 and remained so until it was sold to Land Securities plc in 2005. He co-founded Palace Capital plc with Stanley Davis in July 2010 and helped build a £280m portfolio. He served as Chief Executive Officer until June 2022. He is co-founder of the PROPS with Ronnie Nathan.
