Countrywide's second most senior management figure - Head of Retail Sam Tyrer - is to speak before an industry audience next week, ahead of the release of trading figures for the third quarter of the year.
In a debate next Tuesday about the future of estate agency organised by City investment consultancy Jefferies, Tyrer will speak in the 'bricks' corner on behalf or traditional estate agents, despite Countrywide itself pursuing a range of business models now, including an online service for customers who want it.
Other speakers at the debate will be Russell Quirk, chief executive of eMoov, and James Davies, founder of UPad in the 'clicks' corner representing online agencies.
Mark Goddard, head of property services at Zoopla Property Group and formerly the head of the now-Zoopla-owned Property Services Group, is in what the organisers call the 'picks' corner - what Jefferies calls the 'land grab' part of the market, dominated by the two major portals.

Should be interesting. Don't envy her.
Good luck with that. Rather her than me.

"The debate, which will take a BBC Question Time-style format"
If it gets anything as heated as that programme sometimes does, Ms Tyrer could be in for a tough evening. I'm sure it will be carried out in the right spirits, but there will be a lot of people with a lot of questions. I guess it all depends on how the results go.
Why would you ask Anyone at CWEA about anything to do with estate agency. Anyone with any real experience of the industry has been pushed away.
