The initiative will bring together built environment professionals across the sector at a series of events next year

In an exciting addition to the calendar, the partnership will launch three new flagship events in 2026:

- Built Environment Netball World Cup (spring)

- Built Environment Football World Cup (summer)

- Corporate Clay Pigeon Shooting Challenge (autumn)

Both organisations are now inviting teams and sponsors to register their interest for these unique events designed to bring together professionals from across the sector.

Tom Broughton, managing director of Assemble Media Group, said: “We’re delighted to be working with former GB Olympic Taekwondo Director and experienced property professional Andrew Link, and his standout Property Sports Network, to align our leading brands with his diverse and fast-growing community of over 5,000 professionals.

Their mission to deliver wellbeing and meaningful networking opportunities across the built environment perfectly complements our own commitment to inform, connect, and champion the industry. Together, we’ll create something truly distinctive — a powerful combination of content, sport, wellbeing, and community the industry hasn’t seen before.”

Andrew Link, founder of Property Sports Network, added: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Assemble Media Group and their powerhouse of brands, which have a rich legacy in the built environment. I first worked with the team at ΢Ȧ over 20 years ago, when they were pioneering NextGen initiatives that inspired the sector’s approach to content and events for the decades that followed. It’s exciting to join forces again, united by a shared vision for the next 20 years.

“Like us, Assemble Media Group believes the best networking happens when people are relaxed, energised, and having fun. With that in mind, we’re looking forward to creating new experiences which place enjoyment and networking at the centre while also supporting the health and wellbeing of everyone involved.”
