David Swaffield / Partner, property and construction / Hill Dickinson / Liverpool. Reflecting on the past 12 months, Swaffield said: "Despite a number of significant legislative changes affecting the property sector this year, including the implementation of the Bribery Act, the extension of full competition law to the property sector and most recently the passing of the Localism Act, the big story of 2011 has once again been the economy. Funding for property purchase and development can still be difficult and expensive to obtain, whilst the eurozone crisis largely diminished whatever confidence was returning to the market. That said, work levels have generally held up, particularly at the top end of the market such as the sale of the iconic Zenith Building and the purchase of 55 Spring Gardens, both in Manchester."

Pete Swift / Director / Planit IE / Landscape architecture / Altrincham. Advising Langtree and Land Trust on the rebirth of Festival Gardens in Liverpool.

Michelle Taylor / Regional managing director / St Modwen Properties / Warrington. A typically busy year for one of the region's solid development performers. At Liverpool's Great Homer Street, a major mixed-use scheme mooted for several years, St Modwen expects a public inquiry to take place by summer 2012; negotiations with all affected parties continue. The Hive, a £10m, 100,000 sq ft leisure development in Widnes, completed in September fully let. In Wythenshawe town centre, anchor tenant Wilkinson opened a 26,000 sq ft store in September.

Andrew Timms / Partner / Edwards & Co / Surveying / Manchester. Coordinates the fledgling Manchester Office Agents Forum, a collaboration of 15 agency firms in the city that formed in 2009 and produces quarterly market commentary. An unenviable task: they're a right rabble to keep on track. It's also a lot of mouths to feed in a dwindled market. The MOAF clan will be hoping activity picks up in 2012 after a relatively flat 2011.

Jonathan Walsh / Managing director / MEPC Birchwood Park. The park boasts more than 150 companies including Amec, Atkins, Electricity North West, Rolls-Royce and Serco.

The schemes include Crown Business Park in Rochdale and Estuary Banks in South Liverpool. Webber says: "We're extremely pleased to be in a position where we can effectively diversify our order book whereby we undertake work for clients, our joint venture companies and ourselves in order to try and carry on as normal in these tough economic conditions." The group contains a successful housing arm and Pearl2, a JV with Pendle Council. Private clients include Princess Foods, Biffa Waste Services, Hampton By Hilton, Boundary Mill Stores and Prestigious Car Dealerships.
