The Restaurant Property Advisors Society was founded in 1992 as a network of property professionals involved in the then emerging food, drink and leisure market. The founder members had all been experts in the restaurant sector for some time but recognised the part that restaurants and other licensed and leisure operators would play in the changing face of UK’s retail scene in the nineties. They wanted to establish a Society that enabled the experts in the sector to have a voice.
Many of the founder members were instrumental in the growth of the restaurant property market and helping establish it as a recognised and vital sector in the UK commercial property market.
The restaurant market has grown substantially since the early nineties. The Restaurant Property Advisors Society has grown with it. Today the RPAS is a society that still brings together some of the leading experts in one of the most dynamic sectors of the UK economy.
