Have you read this month’s Land & Business magazine from The CLA? 📰 Englefield House and the wider Estate is featured as a case study about diversification for rural businesses, highlighting the Heritage Live Festivals summer concerts as an example of a unique social experience and commercial opportunity for Estates. Our Estates Director, Edward Crookes and Events Manager, Peter Carson, spoke with Jasmin McDermott at The CLA about the intricacies of planning these large events, the importance of working with an organiser who is aligned with the Estate’s values, as well as the benefits these types of events have for those who live locally and work at Englefield. Edward said: “The filming and events operation forms an important part of the estate’s enterprises in diversifying our sources of income; they make a vital contribution to the costs of maintaining the historic fabric of Englefield House, the park and gardens. “They are hard work for the team, but also great fun and a busy events calendar enriches estate life for those who live and work here.” To read more about this year’s summer concerts, click here: https://lnkd.in/dcKzZYWU The full CLA article can be viewed here: https://lnkd.in/eW4rFdbP #EnglefieldEstate #EnglefieldHouse #RuralBusiness #LandedEstate #Diversification #EventsVenue

Mikko Ketovuori is the author of Socionomics: How Social Mood Shapes Society. I had the opportunity to read the original Finnish Language version and the recently published English copy is updated to current events and just as thought provoking. https://lnkd.in/gx7eq9hG I, like many others, saw the drivers of our happiness or dissatisfaction as being events that corralled social mood. Socionomics disagrees and sees that it is social mood that creates the events. These are often multi-year cycles. My own interpretation is that just as societies look to break away from the past, the past, harking back to traditional ‘values’, grabs our attention; we long for things that were core to the lives of our parents and grandparents. One example of this is the 2012 London Olympics. A time of welcome, of reaching out. Four years later the UK voted to leave the EU, the fear of the ‘other’ overwhelming our openness. Why does Russia repeat, again and again, border expansion? Fear of the other along with a whimsical belief that the world should bow to its power. Markets do the same. House prices, share prices, commodities. Part of Mikko’s thesis dovetails with the works of Robert Prechter and his firm, Elliott Wave International - Global Market Analysts will be joining Mikko in London on April 24th.
