Report of the Managing Director of Bridge House Estates (BHE)

The Board considered a report of the Managing Director of BHE providing an update on key areas of activity across the whole charity since the Board last met in April 2022 and outlining upcoming activities for the Board to note. The Managing Director of BHE introduced the report and drew Members’ attention to the key points, including the positive performance of the visitor attraction at Tower Bridge. The Board was reminded that a training session on the City Bridge Trust (CBT) grant application and assessment processes would precede the September Board meeting.
