Greetings Harkalm Community!

 

Welcome to the October 2024 Edition of Our Newsletter!

As we move into the final quarter of the year, the economy is facing a complex set of challenges which we are carefully navigating. We are actively seeking opportunities in sectors that show resilience and long-term potential, especially those less impacted by consumer volatility.

This summer was a pivotal period for us, we focused on strengthening our team and strategically investing in areas that will drive growth as we approach the end of the year. A key highlight was our successful summer event at The Lighterman, King’s Cross, which brought together over 150 industry professionals. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with valued partners and share insights on the ever-evolving property landscape.

As we gear up for what is traditionally our busiest period, I’m thrilled to report significant progress across multiple developments with several projects advancing through planning and development stages, with a number of completions expected before the close of 2024. We are on track to surpass our £50 million acquisition target for the year, a testament to the hard work and dedication of our amazing team.

If you’d like to hear more about our projects or our latest requirements, please reach out and I’d be happy to have a chat or arrange a meeting.

Thank you for your continued support and look forward to working with you to close the year on a strong note.
