Press Release London, May 2024 – InventoryBase, the UK’s leading provider of property inventory and reporting software, is thrilled to announce a landmark partnership with Belvoir Group, one of the UK’s largest estate & lettings agency chains and property franchises.

As part of this exciting collaboration, InventoryBase Academy has been appointed as Belvoir’s recommended inventory training provider for over 180 offices nationwide, signifying a huge step forward in enhancing inventory reporting management standards across the property industry.

InventoryBase Academy will deliver Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certified courses on inventory management, industry knowledge and professional skills, supporting and empowering Belvoir’s franchisees and an extensive network of passionate, local property experts.

Designed to cater to property professionals of all levels, the courses will provide a comprehensive, supportive and accessible learning experience to every Belvoir professional, further developing the high standards of expertise that Belvoir Group is known for across the country.

The courses cover a range of topics, including best practices in property inventory management and reporting, legal compliance, and the effective use of Inventory Base’s award-winning software.

With decades of experience earned from founding a successful inventory management company and as an active voice in the industry championing the highest possible standards, the training will be led by Sián Hemming-Metcalfe, Operations Director of Inventory Base.

Sián Hemming-Metcalfe said: “We are delighted to team up with Belvoir to raise the bar for inventory standards. Since inception, InventoryBase Academy has provided unparalleled support and high-quality CPD-certified courses to thousands of professionals. This collaboration signifies a remarkable opportunity to push the boundaries of excellence in our industry and we couldn’t be more excited about the impact we’ll make together as we equip Belvoir’s professionals with the expertise they need to support their clients and keep tenants safe.”

Garth Stinson, Senior Trainer at Belvoir Group, commented: “Our Group has recently started using Inventory Base for all inventory training. Delegate feedback has been excellent from the outset. Delegates love the interactive nature of the training and the clear, knowledgeable, and professional way in which Sián explains the practicalities and complexities of conducting inventories.

The course explains why inventories are so important and provides our agents with the knowledge and understanding to ensure inventories are both legally compliant and professionally written products that avoid any future disputes or complaints.

The modern, fresh look of the course and the post-course learning materials and support, has been first class. From initial communications with Sián to the delivery of the first course, Sián and Inventory Base have been excellent, and we look forward to that relationship going from strength to strength.”
