Throughout 2018-19, agreement was achieved for the following Vision statement for the Commercial division, working toward 2025:
“To grow the division into a team that provides a truly national, robust,
co-ordinated and personal service that works to enhance the built environment for our clients through continued investment in our people and regional diversification.”
This Plan has been written in recognition of the work that has been undertaken throughout the previous plan period to build the Commercial division to a £21 million division, equating to over one quarter of the business, both in terms of turnover and headcount.
To continue to build upon this, it is recognised that focus needs to be applied to our resources and regional and service structure. Infrastructure in support of the divisional activity will also be essential in a time of great change in relation to automation and technological enhancements.
This Plan has been created through consultation with members of the division, with input added from across the current regional offices and national service teams, together with Business Services heads. This has been undertaken to ensure that we understand our Partners’ and staff’s aspirations lie for the Plan period more widely than on the financial basis on which the previous Plan was focused.
Each team has an individual charged with developing their business plan over the Vision 2025 period. In conjunction with the Divisional Board, they are responsible for setting the annual budget, the business plan and implementing it.
Our vision for sustainability is to adopt business strategies and activities that meet the needs of Carter Jonas while protecting, sustaining, and enhancing human and natural resources now and for future generations. Since 1855 our people have worked with the natural environment to create more sustainable outcomes for the property and landowners that we have served and within the communities that we work. There are three key elements through which we manage our commitments to sustainability:
