- Peter Bell, Founder & CEO
Having been strongly focused on customer care in his own project management businesses, Peter Bell was surprised to witness how poorly his clients often seemed to be treated in the commercial property sector.
The market appeared to be dominated by landlords and their representatives and the whole ‘system’ geared very much towards the seller and not the buyer.
This situation drove him to set up his own tenant representative organisation in 2014 and today, as founder and CEO of the CTA, Peter continues to stand even firmer to defend the rights and position of commercial tenants. His vision is to address the inequality in the industry, expose unfair practices and ensure that tenants get treated as valued customers.
Ultimately he wants to see a fair and equitable market for both landlords and tenants so that a more harmonious relationship can prevail.
We strive for the commercial property market to be fair and equitable for all and for tenants to be treated as valued customers.
We are here to change things for the better by creating a trusted safe haven and by being the champion and the voice for commercial tenants.
Everything we do is based on the three core values that define us. We are:
We stand by our principles and are true to who we are.
We are devoted to our members and committed to our cause.
We are an open and caring organisation that embraces the interests of all.
So that we can:
Our dynamic governance structure ensures that members and stakeholders are able to actively contribute to shaping the future of the organisation.
The CTA is led by the Board of Directors which provides leadership, strategic direction, and oversight of all aspects of the Association’s management and operations.
Our Board is supported by an Advisory Board which provides effective strategic advice and a Members' Council where proactive members are able to promote the interests of the wider membership.
