You may already be familiar with Lisa Pilkington's Midlands blog and David Quinn's North West blog but as Focus covers the whole of the country the team didn't want to miss out on bringing you interesting bits of information, pictures and videos of what is going on elsewhere.
The guys on the Focus desk have been contributing posts from their travels and biogs for some time now so check out the latest entries by visiting: http://www.estatesgazette.com/blogs/focus/
After the great success of our 'Meet the team' page at the beginning of the year we thought we'd create a web page dedicated to showcasing the expertise of our very own EGi news team.
This page is packed full of information about our reporters, their blogs, podcasts and you can even watch them on video. So far there are two profiles on the page: Paul Norman (EGi news editor) and Helen Roxburgh (multimedia reporter) - we'll be adding more profiles, videos and useful links in the coming weeks and months so be sure to visit the page again soon.

My colleagues in the EG Events team are currently working really hard to pull together the finishing touches to this year's EG Retail Summit being held on the 13th May 2009 at The Royal Lancaster Hotel,
So, what can you expect from this year's summit?
The half day event will give you the chance to:
· Find out about the changing dynamics in the market.
· Understand the consumer expectations and changing needs.
· Establish what the future trends and trading outlooks are likely to be.
· Discover more about future lending policies.
· Identify potential growth opportunities.
· Debate whether now is the time to revitalise and reinvent retail parks.
