Investing in homegrown talent gives our customers a better experience.


A note from our Managing Director, David Collinson;

A comprehensive, modern property management service goes beyond having the on-site presence of a property manager. Most new customers cite the PM as the key factor in judging a managing agent’s effectiveness. However, property management is a team effort and, as the industry develops, it is becoming increasingly so.

In running a growing property management firm, I must make sure that we strengthen our offer to customers across the full range of services that we supply.

Block Management UK Ltd recently announced that the youngest member of our accounts team – Tommy - has passed his Professional Diploma in Accounting Level 4 from the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT).  This success, plus his work experience, having been at BMUK for three years, means he is now a full member of the AAT (known as MAAT). We are immensely proud.

Block Management UK Ltd is keen to encourage young talent like Tommy to make the most of the opportunities open to them and improve their career prospects. It is good for them and, as an employer, it is particularly good for us because we enjoy a motivated team whose value for our customers increases as time goes on.

Since day one, Tommy has been consistently improving and learning on-the-job. Accountancy is a rigorous occupation and, as a key service that we supply, it requires technical ability and attention to detail.

It has been a policy at Block Management UK to encourage members of staff to progress with their careers. Improving staff skills is a prominent issue to me because it sets our service beyond what is expected from customers. It increases the value of our service.

Tommy should enjoy a sense of achievement, especially having taken this course during the pandemic - a very unsettling time for businesses and individuals. We are extremely pleased that he committed his time and energy to this qualification and that his investment has been rewarded for his own career and that our support will benefit Block Management UK.

I hope that customers who read this news will see that our investment in staff is to increase the value for money customers get from choosing to place their properties in our hands. And that going forwards they can trust that we will find ways of increasing that value for money.
