One of the best parts about acquiring a new business is learning about the culture that has made that business so successful that they have become someone we want to buy. And in our world that is really all about their people 🤩
John Rowan and Partners is a great example of this, a property and construction consultancy that Bellrock Group acquired in 2022. There is a really strong people-centric culture in this business that Gurpal Virdee, Mash Halai FRICS and the other Partners nurtured and were hugely protective of when contemplating being acquired by a much bigger business. They needn't have worried, there has been so much we have learned from JRP that has influenced and informed the transformational, progressive People Strategy we have put in place for the whole Group 🧭
All of this was evident at the JRP annual staff conference that I had the pleasure of attending in London yesterday. There was a real passion and commitment for their business, their work, their clients and to exploiting the opportunities that come from being part of a wider Group, with its wider client base, broader product set and endless cross-sell opportunities 🏅
I particularly admire the opportunity they give colleagues, typically early in their careers, to present their team's business plans. This engages them in the mission, raises their profile and gives them invaluable experience of presenting to a large audience. Well done Steven McCubbin, Conor McCabe, Rajvina Bassi MRICS, Caedmon Bradley, Bill Callaghan, Dan Bryan, Stanley Foster-Bohm, Rob Worster MRICS, Eden Carberry-Hughes, Rachael Comer and Keisha Ferguson. You smashed it 🔥 And well done and thank you Georgia Lloyd-Davies for pulling the day together 🙏
