Russell Quirk, co-founder of ProperPR and former chief executive of Emoov, has become a shareholder in the Property Investor Show.

The event, which launched in 2002, is held twice a year at London’s ExCeL Centre.

Quirk has been involved with the show for several years as a speaker and panellist and will now take a more hands-on role following his investment.

Nick Clark, founder and director of the Property Investor Show, said: “The Property Investor Show is the most established event of its kind and has stood the test of time as a reliable friend to landlords, HMO owners and developers where expert advice and tools meet existing and future property entrepreneurs.”

Quirk added: “My involvement complements the ProperPR business which is going from strength to strength, delivering a 26% increase in revenue to a seven-figure sum last year and which I remain very committed to.”

The next Property Investor Show is set to take place at the Excel Centre on 17-18 April.
