Report of the Managing Director of BHE

The Board considered a report of the Managing Director of BHE providing Members with a short Annual Progress Report of Bridge House Estates’ overarching strategy, Bridging London, for 2020 – 21 and outlining the progress made in delivery of the strategy to date and the future strategic direction which will be reflected in the Year 2 (2022) Action Plan. The Managing Director of BHE introduced the report and drew Members’ attention to the key points.

Members then gave feedback on the report, suggesting that a list of all trustees be added to the document and that the pictures in the report be updated to increase the diversity. In response to questions, the Managing Director of BHE advised that the document was largely internal, but a designed version would be produced for wider distribution.
