Meet the Team


Mark Barlow Managing Director	Mark Barlow founded CPT in 1991, having formerly worked for the College of Estate Management and the RICS’s joint venture ICC. He is responsible for Valuation, Commercial, Planning and Development programmes, and is the Administrator for the Compulsory Purchase Association and the Planning and Environment Bar Association. In a former life he was a competitive swimmer and coached swimming – his last two protégés won Gold and Bronze at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He supports Open Water racing in the UK and has been a member of the governing body’s technical committee. Now growing old sailing in the Solent.

Kate Beresford-Evans Event Organiser	After nearly 20 years in local government administration followed by a spell of domestic engineering, Kate joined the team at CPT 4 years ago. As with Lyndsey, Kate’s job as an event organiser entails arranging meetings and conferences, and liaising with speakers. In addition, Kate provides administrative support to the Compulsory Purchase Association Committee and membership. In her spare time, Kate, an avid sports fan, follows rugby, tennis, football, golf etc. and also acts as a part time taxi driver for her children and other half!

Lyndsey Fleming Event Organiser	Lyndsey has been organising all sorts of events for over 10 years some as far a-field as South Africa and the USA mainly for the Pharmaceutical Industry. Before joining CPT in 2002, she worked at Ascot Racecourse as an Event Planner organising a whole host of events, including weddings, product launches and most bizarrely a dog show with over 10,000 attendees, mostly dogs! Lyndsey returned to CPT in January 2008 from maternity leave, following the birth of her daughter Alice. She works on a part time basis alongside Mark in setting up and co-ordinating many of the events that CPT currently organise.


Gill Dymond Registrar/Accounts/Marketing Administrator	As well as being principally responsible for producing the delegate packs and co-ordinating the speaker’s powerpoint presentations, Gill is also in charge of CPT's sales ledger. Another part of Gill’s role is to ensure that the marketing information that we hold for our delegates is up to date and correct. As we do not believe in irrelevant blanket mailings, this is an important part of our marketing strategy. Gill is also a mother of three and runs her own family taxi service.
