Who are Developers Boardroom
Launched in April 2017 by Alex Harrington-Griffin, a then boutique property developer, the invite-only forum was created to bring established developers together to solve challenges.
Welcoming experienced owners and directors, the network grew steadily and began hosting large scale dinners conferences and workshops for developers, welcoming industry leaders from RICS to Savills, Homes England to Allsop.
At our peak of large-format events, we hosted the legendary late Tony Pidgley OBE, who shared his guidance and insights to a room of 130 SME's at The Dinner II.
After 8-years and 500+ hours of strategic developer events, Alex took the entirely unique perspective, referral track record and 18-years in sales, marketing and partnerships to steer the business toward a new much-needed focus – supporting growth for the property professionals, consultants and service providers that serve the SME property development ecosystem – launching Inside Developers Boardroom.

I've learnt one thing from 11 years with SME developers, you do it best, when you give them a rest. A great reminder to anyone selling their wares to the sector.

What We Stand For
We believe small, expert-led firms shouldn't have to shout to be seen. The best work often gets overlooked simply because it isn't packaged the right way.
That's why everything we do is designed to help you better target, engage and convert your ideal property and development clients.
We're not here to reinvent your business — we help you double down on what already works, backed by the insights of 150+ developers and 500+ hours of real-world strategy.
We call it smart casual growth.
What Our Clients and Members Say
Am Kainth, Ekuity Club
"We came to Developers Boardroom to refine our acquisition strategy, and enhance our agent and vendor outreach collateral. Alex and their team helped me to really hone in on our key USP, and bring forward the track record that we'd not celebrated nearly enough.
Working with their strategic advisors, we fine tuned our investor material, and then developed an agent outreach schedule, including a 2-page requirements summary and follow up plan.
Their perspective on the developer space is second to none, very organised, and a joy to work with. Highly recommended for any outreach activity."
Gary Haskell, Strutt & Parker
"When you left we all agreed how enjoyable our investment was!!"
Professor Jo Clarke, Petros Organisation
"The Diagnostic session was really useful and concise…
Definitely gave us solid evidence and renewed confidence that informed our growth plans."
Jon Holden, Iterum
"Alex's support in identifying and building out our target customer profiles has been instrumental in shaping both our current strategy and future plans. The process was highly collaborative and hands-on—through a series of focused workshops and sessions with our team, Alex helped us dig deep into customer needs, pain points, and motivations."
Siobhan Cook, Archco Developments
"Being part of the group gave me space I didn't know I needed—to step back, recognise what I've actually built, and own it. The accountability, Alex's guidance, and the energy of the cohort pushed me to show up with clarity and conviction.
I walked away more confident, more focused, and genuinely excited about what makes us different."
Lukasz Kisiel, Kisiel Group
"The insight I gained has definitely shaped how I run the business, long after the sessions ended."
