Relocation Agent Network Q&A Series - Q1 How do you rate RAN?
Simon Bradbury, Managing Director, Thomas Morris
Thomas Morris required a network that would deliver multi-dimensional value — not just referrals — including quality positioning and genuine community that active membership could leverage.
In this Q1 instalment of the RAN Q&A Series featuring Thomas Morris, Simon Bradbury delivers a direct rating of RAN that draws on his experience with multiple networks over a long career. Simon distinguishes between adequate and genuinely excellent network membership, placing RAN in the latter category. His assessment covers the full membership proposition — referrals, community, and the quality positioning that RAN confers on Thomas Morris in a competitive market — and he frames renewal as a decision that requires no deliberation. Simon's perspective is particularly valuable because it comes from a practitioner with sufficient industry experience to make meaningful network comparisons rather than assessing RAN in isolation.
Key points
- Simon gives RAN four out of five while saying it had not been fulfilling its potential.
- He looks ahead to improvements in 2023, so this is historical member feedback rather than a current rating.
- Simon Bradbury rates RAN as delivering great rather than merely good network value for Thomas Morris
- Membership delivers across referrals, community, and competitive positioning simultaneously
- Thomas Morris would renew membership without hesitation based on accumulated returns
- RAN's quality positioning enhances the firm's standing in a competitive local and regional market
- Experienced network participant perspective reinforces credibility of Simon Bradbury's positive rating
I've been involved in enough networks over the years to know a good one from a great one, and RAN is a great one. The combination of community, referrals, and the quality positioning it gives Thomas Morris in a competitive market makes it a membership we'd renew without a second thought. The value is there — you just need to commit to making the most of it.
