Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking from a multi-disciplined team with one eye on the strategic long term plan and with sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day: the skills that block and estate management spans are: politics, building pathology, finance, legal knowhow and of course customer service too.
As a leading Managing Agent, we are a one-stop-property shop. We understand that our role is sometimes signposting Clients to get expert advice and supporting them to interpret such advice and make decisions. We support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.
As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers' as our focus which is written up in our values is (a) to build relationships, (b) add value, and (c) to take the initiative: to us this means managing relationships. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a 'money back guarantee'.
We are not shy of hard work and believe our ability to get stuck in and find solutions that sets us apart. We are innovative to the core and committed to implementing good ideas in pursuit of 5* service.
Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.
Block Management Reviews
"Our property manager, Natalie Birmingham has made our experience with Ringley extremely positive, having moved some of the management of our commercial property over to Ringley.
Natalie's professionalism, promptness, and dedication to exceeding expectations has left a lasting impression. She responds promptly to any queries or comments that we have and what sets Natalie apart is her commitment to going above and beyond. "

"Ringley have been supporting a number of leaseholders as managing agent - including myself - through a large insurance claim. It’s not an easy job managing 40+ different competing interests and I commend them for handling such a tricky situation. Dominic and Kate have been been responsive, informative and have advocated my needs and interests to all third party stakeholders. The claim will take a significant amount of time to resolve but had it not of been for Ringley I do not think we would have made any progress at all. I strongly recommend them."

"We have had a problem with noise from the flat above us in Lady Isle House Ferry Court Cardiff. We contacted a Mr Paul Staniforth who immediately became involved and addressed the situation. We really do appreciate what he has done for us and cannot thank him enough. Once again a big thank you to Mr Staniforth. The noise above was intolerable."

The story of the Arsenal Football Club, based in North London is colorful and as exciting as a little more than a century of footballing triumphs and cultural innovations can get :
Early Years:
1. Founding: Arsenal Football Club was founded in 1886 in England by the workers of the Woolwich Arsenal Armament Factory. It started as Dial Square but shortly after acquired a new name, Royal Arsenal.
2. South London Origins: Most of the early football played by the Arsenal team was in South London, Plumstead. The team then made a move to North London in Highbury due to the resultant financial problems and lack of support in Plumstead.
Highbury Era:
1. The move to Highbury: In the year 1913, the team shifted to probably the most iconic stadium the team was ever to have—Highbury. More than 90 years were spent at their new home with far-from-missed Art Deco stands and an overall intense atmosphere among much more.
2. Interwar Success: The first period of Arsenal's success was during the interwar years under Herbert Chapman. During this time, they managed to win their first League Championship ever in 1931 and their first FA Cup in 1930.
Te immediately after the Second World War:
1. Transition and Stability: While undergoing spells of rebuilding and reshaping in the aftermath of the Second World War, much of its competitive edge was retained to remain a genuinely competitive force within English football by Arsenal.
2. the 1960s and 1970s: During the 1960s, Arsenal had a chequered record, occasionally fighting for domestic honors but almost always being outplayed by other Clubs.
1. Arsène Wenger's Arrival: The most radical change that hit Arsenal recently was in 1996—with the appointment of Arsène Wenger as manager of the Club. Of the many other tactical innovations he introduced into the English game, more important was the change in the very character of the country's football, with demands on fitness programs and dietary regimes above all, his flair for spotting talented young players.
2. Successes and Honors: Under Wenger, Arsenal won many domestic cups, including three league titles the team won in the seasons 1997–1998, 2001–2002, and 2003–2004, along with several FA Cups. Besides these, they were once successful in Europe, becoming finalists in the UEFA Champions League season in 2006.
Emirates Stadium and Recent Years:
1. Emirates Stadium: This state-of-the-art and relatively larger stadium in the name of Emirates Stadium burst into an ecstatic surge in matchday revenue right after its relocation to this stadium in 2006.
2. Recent Trials: For some past times, Arsenal has been going through some testing times to maintain its past glories. At times, it altered its managerial staff; at times, it remained outside the Champions League qualification.
Cultural Implication:
1. Global Fans: Now, if Arsenal achieves a global following, it would be considered to have reached the epitome of fandom. Within a few words, critical acclaim comes through its style, marrow of young talent, and racial equality inside the sport.
2. Communities: Through the Arsenal Foundation, which is an independent charity, the football club gets involved in community activities targeting Education, Health, and Sport for Social Change.
At one time or another from here, punctuated by successes and periods of transition, the history of Arsenal FC followed in building this club as one of England's most storied football institutions and North London culture.
