Block Management Slough

Slough's No 1 Managing agent

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 to do what we do well as well as sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day.

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’ to embody our values which are to build relationships, add value, and to take the initiative. 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 ’.

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.

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 support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.

History of Slough

Slough, located in Berkshire, has a rich history that spans from its early beginnings to its modern-day status as a vibrant town. The town's name is believed to originate from the Old English word “slough,” which means a muddy or marshy area, likely referring to the marshlands along the River Thames. Slough was once a rural village with agricultural roots, but its transformation into an industrial town began in the 19th century, particularly with the advent of the railway in 1838. This development allowed for better transportation and trade links, boosting the town’s growth and drawing new industries.The arrival of the railway led to significant urbanisation and the development of the town’s infrastructure. In the late 19th century, Slough became known for its manufacturing industries, including brewing and brickmaking. By the mid-20th century, Slough had emerged as a key location for large businesses and industry, particularly in technology and electronics. The town's position as a hub for international business was solidified by the opening of the Slough Trading Estate in 1920, which became the world’s first business park and attracted major companies such as Mars, Yule Catto & Co, and O2.

In the post-war years, Slough underwent significant growth and development, transitioning into a modern, diverse, and bustling town. Its proximity to London, along with excellent transport links, made it a prime location for new residential developments and businesses. The town became a popular commuter area, with housing estates sprouting up around the town centre. However, despite its modernisation, Slough also retains elements of its historical character, with several 19th-century buildings and churches still standing, such as St. Mary's Church and Upton Court Park.Today, Slough is a thriving multicultural town that serves as an economic hub in the Thames Valley, home to a mix of international businesses and a diverse community. It continues to grow, with ongoing development projects aimed at improving housing, leisure facilities, and transportation, ensuring that Slough remains a key town in the region for years to come.
