Chapman Taylor’s Bristol Studio hosts annual client event aboard The Matthew

Chapman Taylor’s Bristol studio was delighted to welcome guests aboard the iconic sailing ship The Matthew on Wednesday, September 17th, for our annual client event, a much-anticipated tradition in the city’s property calendar.

The cruise around Bristol’s historic Floating Harbour offered the perfect setting to connect and catch up with colleagues and clients, even if the sunshine chose not to make an appearance.

Now a highlight of Bristol’s real estate and property industry calendar, the event continues to bring people together in a relaxed and memorable way.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, we look forward to next year, come rain or shine!
