All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey

A poignant observation upon returning to the UK from California last weekend.
Perhaps it’s time to start California Dreamin’ as we begin to embrace the colder weather.
But what a fantastic few days in Los Angeles for Russell Bedford International’s Annual Global Conference.
From the sunshine and energy of California to our home for the week in Beverly Hills, it was a brilliant opportunity to bring together colleagues from across our global network. There were plenty of great conversations, new connections, shared experiences and, of course, a lot of fun along the way!
Beyond the wonderful setting, which fostered invaluable collaboration, this was a particularly significant conference for our network.
We took the opportunity to redefine our vision and unveil our new strategy, setting out a positive direction for the future: a renewed sense of purpose, a shared ambition and a collective commitment to taking Russell Bedford to the next level.
Our network has come a long way, and seeing so many talented and enthusiastic people from across the world united behind our future goals and objectives makes me incredibly proud.
A huge thank you to everyone who travelled to LA, contributed to the discussions, helped make the conference a magnificent success and, most importantly, made it such an enjoyable week.
I’ve returned from the City of Angels with fabulous memories, stronger relationships, fresh ideas and a real sense of excitement about what lies ahead.
