Industry experts Christopher Watkin and Verona Frankish to feature in Zoopla’s Nottingham Property Pitch Roadshow
Zoopla, one of the UK’s leading property websites and the Official Property Partner of England Cricket, is delighted to announce that it will be joined by property market commentator Christopher Watkin and Verona Frankish, CEO of Yopa at its next ‘Property Pitch - Market Focus Roadshow’.
Taking place at the iconic Trent Bridge Cricket Ground in Nottingham on the 14th of May, the limited event is designed to help East Midlands-based agents stay competitive in a shifting market.
Attendees can expect to hear more about Zoopla’s Vision for 2025 from Chief Operating Officer Rich Hayes, as well as the portal’s competitive advantage for agents, while Richard Donnell, Executive Director at Zoopla will explore local market trends in the East Midlands, and how these can be leveraged to get ahead of the competition. Agents will have the opportunity to ask questions during both sessions.
This will be followed by an expert panel on lead conversion secrets with top industry experts including:
Christopher Watkin, Guru in business generation for estate and letting agents
Verona Frankish, CEO of Yopa
Joby Russell, VP of Marketing at Zoopla
Moderated by: Alex Rose, Commercial Director at Zoopla
Giving an insight into what attendees can expect from the panel, Verona comments: “In today’s market, it’s not just about attracting interest—it’s about turning enquiries into instructions. Smart strategies, speed, & clear processes, delivered consistently, separate the best from the rest. With input from experts in marketing, data, sales and technology, some of the industry’s best-known names will provide practical tips to agents interested in improving their lead generation strategies but also guidance on how to optimise conversion.”
Both Christopher and Verona are well-known figures across the industry. Christopher is a well-known guru around business generation for estate and letting agents and property market commentator, while Verona is CEO of Yopa and Chair of Women in Estate Agency.

The morning will finish with the chance to network with fellow agents and win cricket match day tickets for an England fixture at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.
Christopher Watkin comments: “If you’re an Estate Agent and tired of not being called out to enough market appraisals, or losing listings to competitors with cheap fees or overvaluing, then brace yourself. The truth hurts, but you’ll hear it in Nottingham.”
Alex Rose, Commercial Director at Zoopla comments: “Following the success of our West Midlands event, we’re looking forward to heading East to give agents insights into Zoopla’s vision and how they can get the edge in the living room. I’m particularly looking forward to our expert panel, which promises to be a fascinating discussion with Verona and Christopher onboard.”
