John Clark – Sapphire Properties
AIPP Regional Ambassador, Costa Blanca & Costa Calida, Spain
John spent over 30 years in Local Government Finance and the Enforcement Industry, during this time he became a Fellow of the Institute of Revenues, Rating & Valuation and was a member of their National Council. In 2015 he relocated to the Costa Blanca and purchased Sapphire Properties based in Ciudad Quesada, and embarked on a new challenge.

John sees the membership of the AIPP as a key component in the aims of the company and is keen to take his new role as a Regional Ambassador forward to promote the AIPP to members, non-members & clients alike and hopes to start work towards “regional” meetings of AIPP members to continue to ensure that the AIPP provides support to both members and clients alike.
