  • Sept 2013 Parish Newsletter
    PARISH Sept 20 13 ISSUEISSUE 38 33 JUNE 2012 This newsletter is distributed to every h ouse in the five parishes to commun icate the activities of the Bishopstone Group Parish Council and other local events Test your stamina, or opt for a gentler challenge, to raise money for the British Red Cross by entering the Hope Valley Run Get into training for the Hope Valley Run, in Herefordshire – a great way to keep fit and raise money for people in need. This year’s event, which takes place on Sunday, 6 October, will feature not only the established, multi-terrain 8 mile route but also a 4 mile fun run. The eight-mile timed race has been a regular feature of the Red Cross fundraising calendar. There are hills to test your stamina, long stretches to build up speed and some beautiful scenery to take in on the way as the route snakes through fields, woodland and along ash paths. This year’s entrants will have the challenge of trying to beat the current record of 52.4 minutes set in 2011. The four mile route takes place on the back of popular demand. Like the longer route it will take in woodland trails and keep road running to a minimum. More suitable for those looking for a less demanding challenge . The race starts and ends at the village hall in the picturesque village of Woolhope, in Herefordshire, (15 minutes off the M50) where parking, toilet and changing facilities will be available to runners. Bags can be left in a supervised store during the race and there will be a kitchen providing hot and cold refreshments The route runs through Haugh Wood, well known for its butterfly walks, and is marked throughout with marshals covering all junctions and turnings.

  • Can Traditional Estate Agents Continue to Thrive in the Brave New Online World?
    Can traditional estate agents continue to thrive in the brave new online world? _______________________________________________________________ A thought leadership report by Rix & Kay February 2018 About the report 3 Your key contact Scott Garner Foreword 4 T: 01273 329 797 E: [email protected] Executive summary 6 Key themes 7 Useful checklists – Differentiation 14 Useful checklists – Technology and innovation 16 Detailed commentary 18 About the author 55 Acknowledgements 56 About Rix & Kay 62 Offices 64 www.rixandkay.co.uk Ashford Brighton & Hove Seaford Sevenoaks Uckfield … Page | 2 Back to main index About the report During the last six months of 2017, members of Rix & Kay’s dedicated Residential Property Team conducted detailed face-to-face interviews with 16 traditional estate agents, who between them operate 127 offices across the South-East. All the interviewees were either Owners, Partners or Senior Managers. We would like to thank all the estate agents who participated in the interviews and acknowledgements appear towards the end of this report. The purpose of each interview was to uncover a range of common themes and challenges that traditional estate agents were facing in the market, particularly given the prominent rise of online estate agents who were challenging the traditional model. By gathering expert opinion from the people who best understand these challenges, our aim was to publish a thought-leadership report that would act as a strategic guide for traditional estate agents across the UK. To further support our detailed face-to-face research, we conducted an online survey of 60 traditional estate agents, to gauge their opinion of the key themes that had already emerged from the face-to-face interviews.
