We are delighted to be one of the sponsors of Wales Week in London 2018. Over 70 activities and events are taking place in the UK capital to celebrate and promote Welsh culture, sport, business, food and drink. Today the Prime Minister's St David's Day Reception takes place at Downing Street, where we will be represented.

There is a St David's Day Dinner at the Guildhall in the City of London and Lunch with the Football Association of Wales at the Adelphi Building in Covent Garden Riverside. Music will be enjoyed at a Concert in Westminster Central Hall and a Gig Night at the London Welsh Centre. You can sample a taste of Welsh produce at Borough Market and Paddington Station. There are many more events and you can check the full list here.

As one of Wales's leading commercial property advisory firms with Wales based experts on Welsh property, it is important for Cooke & Arkwright to support this great initiative and help develop stronger links between two key UK hotspots.

Take a minute to look at our short video to find out more about who we are and what we do.

With so much interest in Wales as a property investment destination, there has never been a more important time to showcase the best of Wales in London. A large proportion of our client-base comprise London based investors, occupiers and developers who turn to Cooke & Arkwright for specialist advice on their commercial property assets. Like other great Welsh businesses taking part, we are proud to raise our profile and build our networks in London.

Now in its second year, Wales Week in London has gained a strong following and it is a tremendous way to celebrate Welsh success stories. The initiative launched on Saturday 24th February and runs to Friday 10th March.

Happy St David's Day from Wales!

I have worked with Jeremy Symons over the past three years successfully leasing and buying property in support of my business. I continue to be very pleased with his knowledge of the market and expertise. Our relationship over this time has resulted in acquiring 20,000 sq ft at Capital Business Park in Cardiff, leasing 11,000 sq ft at Southpoint, and subsequently leasing an initial 42,000 sq ft at Parc Bedwas, followed by a succession of expansions of a further 11,000 and then 47,000 sq ft, enabling us to centralise all of our operations at Parc Bedwas in a single 100,000 sq ft facility. The acquisitions were completed at the perfect time for tenant purposes and the rent fixed throughout the term at very economical rates. A job well done.
