King Sturge's Warsaw office has joined the Polish Council of Shopping Centres (PRCH), a move the property adviser says will enable it to become even more involved in the country's retail property sector and open the door to valuable new relationships.

PRCH, established in 2003, is the biggest non-governmental organisation in Poland which brings together companies and professionals in the retail real estate industry. It is a national partner and an affiliate member of the International Council of Shopping Centres.

The main mission of PRCH is to support the Polish retail industry, maintain positive relations in this environment and create a positive image of shopping centres in Poland. As well as being the main source of information on the retail sector, PRCH promotes best practice in the industry and encourages further retail development in Poland.

As a member of PRCH, King Sturge will take an active part in seminars, training programmes and other events.
