You already know property. This is the day you learn the business behind it: how to attract serious investors, build dependable cash flow, and grow a company that no longer relies on you grafting for every pound.
Most property events teach you to find the next deal. This one is about building the business behind it.
I built my property business from the ground up. The biggest breakthroughs didn't come from learning more about property. They came from people outside the industry, who taught me sales, positioning, leadership and cash flow.
Beyond the Bricks brings those people into one room for one day, for established property professionals who are ready to grow.

TalkGet Your Property Business Out of Your Head
Read bio
Gemma Hurlstone spots where information, decisions and follow-ups are getting stuck in a business, then fixes the way it works.
She builds useful apps and connected AI systems around real businesses, not technology for its own sake. That might mean replacing scattered spreadsheets with one clear view, capturing the decisions only the founder knows, or taking repeated admin off the team's plate.
Gemma is proudly neurodivergent, allergic to jargon, and firmly believes the order matters: process, then systems, then automation.

Why me?
Hi, I'm Rochelle. I'll be your host.
In five years I built a property portfolio and a sourcing business from scratch.
Property training got me started. What made the business grow was learning from mentors outside the industry: sales specialists, personal brand experts and business strategists.
For Beyond the Bricks I'm bringing together the coaches and mentors who made the biggest difference to me, so you can stop grafting and start growing.
We'll send full arrival instructions and venue details to ticket holders closer to the day.
Accessibility
We want everyone to feel comfortable and able to attend. The venue is accessible, and if you have any specific requirements, let us know in advance and we'll make sure you're looked after.
Wednesday 11th November · Birmingham
Stop grafting. Start growing.
One day, ten speakers, and a room full of property business owners who are building something bigger.
