A few words,
Impact
We have recently celebrated our first anniversary and I am delighted with all of the achievements we have made thus far. I would like to thank our Front of House team and account managers across the country for their professionalism, hard work and can-do attitude. They are the face of Impact and are the ambassadors of the properties they look after. I would also like to extend our gratitude to the Facilities Managers and Surveyors for their support and interaction with our teams along with the empowerment they have provided them. Our goal is to become recognised as the leading Front of House team in the UK and I truly believe we are on that path. Rome was not built in a day, but we have set a solid foundation and in our second year we need to build on that success, keep the momentum going and evolve Impact so that it continues to delight and exceed our customer’s expectations. The All Blacks - possibly the world’s best example of an exemplary team - live by an uncompromising desire to harness the best talent and deliver the best performance: If we all embody this philosophy we too can also achieve greater success.

Thank you to everyone who attended and we look forward to working with you and your teams in the year ahead!
Retail Governance In May we released our new retail pop up policy to help support our teams in selecting the appropriate suppliers into their buildings. This policy introduces a mandatory set of rules for ‘pop up’ retail operations (those charging for goods or services) being permitted into an Impact property. The purpose of the policy is to protect and enhance the reputation of our Clients and JLL’s management service.

2021: A year of Learning 2021 has seen a shift from predominately classroom delivery to virtual/remote facilitation. Whilst we have missed that F2F contact, this method of delivery has forced us to be more innovative. In turn this has captured many more participants from the regions and learners have really embraced the change with feedback being very positive.

Impact | Annual Review 2021
“Today’s workout is beneficial to me in- terms of good customer service by treating customers well, exceeding expectations, and build a strong relationship.”
“I just wanted to say thank you so much for the training sessions that I attended. I really have taken and learned so much from them and you which will help me deal with situations and the right approach, I genuinely mean when I say you are an inspiration, thank you again.”
“Because today session was fantastic, we didn’t realise the time, it was very interesting and motivational. I think this kind of training boosts our confidence and adds to our positive attitude towards our everyday life which is not only limited to our professional life. Sharing ideas with others in the group helped motivation, and hearing from Jan on the different ways we can improve ourselves and service.”
“The 6 strategies of success were my favourite topic, where I learned about belief and how it helps you to gather breakthroughs. The training was truly memorable and the knowledge I carry forward In my work place and at a personal level is priceless.”

As a way to thank all keyworkers at 40 Berkeley Square and surrounding area our Impact receptionist Rogelio created 50 individual gift bags.

One of the contents in the bag was a black and white drawing from artist and illustrator Brett Hudson, that captures the wonderful key workers all standing together and a thank you note on the bottom. The card was left as black and white to encourage children to colour all the different key workers on display.

Aman Dhillon, Impact Account Manger, Walk All Over Cancer Fundraising
Jai Virpal Welcome Host The Perception on behalf of JLL One Kingdom Stree
In 2019, Ams sadly lost her father to Cancer so she decided to take part in this years fundraising and committed to walking 10,000 steps every day for Cancer Research UK.
I am glad to announce that One Kingdom Street and Vodafone Reception teams working together raised £62.36 for this year’s British Legion Poppy Appeal.
She set her target to £1,000 feeling a little brave however within the first few hours of sharing her fundraising page with her family, friends & colleagues she hit her target on day one. She increased her target to £2,000 and with the support of many people she managed to raise £1,952.84 + £263.75 in Gift Aid. Ams almost walked 15,000+ steps a day, her target was 310,000. She managed to walk 414,135 steps which was a great achievement for her.
Thank you very much for helping publicise our Appeal: Without your support we would be unable to help The Royal British Legion.
Robabell, Corporate Receptionist, 75 King William Street Robabell managed to raise £570 for Macmillan, she received the following email from JustGiving: Impact | Annual Review 2021
“You’re a top 20% fundraiser, Robabell, Your Winter Walk Challenge page was one of the most successful JustGiving pages last month. Out of thousands of fundraisers, you were in the top 20%. Congrats on raising so much for Macmillan Cancer Support - you’re an absolute hero.”
She has experienced first hand and seen how hard the doctors and other professionals work to care for sick Cancer patients and with the support of everyone’s fundraising we can help improve research and treatment for those who unfortunately are diagnosed with Cancer.

Growing community with Impact The White Building
You can find a great example of how we champion sustainable practices to grow communities at The White Building. We have a dedicated communal roof garden that is enjoyed by the building’s occupiers all year round. This is a place to socialise, hold events and unwind during (and after) a long day at work. The roof garden boasts a wonderful amount of sunshine coverage all year round, which makes it the perfect environment for growing vegetables. We provided dedicated planters and topsoil to the building’s occupiers, who over the course of the year grew, cultivated, and harvested their own organic produce. Most importantly, the community grew along with the vegetables!

Justina and Jasmine, One Valpy, Reading, Abrdn “Justina and Jasmine have been incredibly helpful since I took over management of One Valpy back in August last year and made a much appreciated effort to welcome me to the building team. They are both so flexible and have handled the ever changing circumstances very well. I feel they support and complement each other even though they don’t share the desk at the moment, handovers are seamless. There are never any issues and they are both very responsive whenever there may be an incident. They create a happy work environment as a team and have been a pleasure to work with.”
Received the ‘Pride Award’ from the JLL team in March. “A couple of weeks ago we had an elderly gentleman who came onto our Estate, as he was looking for the vaccination centre for his Covid jab. He was speaking with another gentleman when I overheard what he was asking for, I then intervened to help him with his query. I could tell that where he needed to go would be quite confusing for him if I directed him from where we was, so I took the initiative of thinking to assist him to the vaccination centre myself. I took him to the vaccination centre and he was really appreciative and grateful that I guided him there, as he wasn’t sure how to find the place on his own.”
Maria & Alena, Receptionists, Tokenhouse Yard, London Have received a one off bonus of £75 each as a sign of gratitude from the Building Management team on how well they have dealt with a serious flooding in the building. “Just want to pass on my appreciation to Alena and Maria at Tokenhouse Yard. We had a major leak at the property this afternoon. This was not a dripping pipe, but water was literally pouring from a damaged outlet and flooding the basement kitchen area, as well as moving out into the lift lobby area and was heading into the lift shaft. Both of the reception team immediately got to work alongside the site cleaner and kept the potential for damage to a minimum. Once the work to stop the flow of water was completed by our M&E provider, both of them continued with the task of clearing the water that had accumulated. This sort of attitude is greatly appreciated.”

Emine, Receptionist, Stylus Building London, Aviva “Emine, has been creating awareness and running a fundraiser campaign for a cause which has deeply affected her. A baby called Roza Ari was diagnosed with SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) which is a disease that progressively destroys motor neurones, nerve cells in the brain stem and spinal cord that control essential skeletal muscle activity such as speaking, walking, breathing and swallowing leading to muscle weakness and atrophy and most babies does not reach the age of 2. The team fundraiser Emine set up together with a friend has already raised more than £80.000.”
Ams, Impact Account Manager “Just to say my account manager Ams is brilliant, very conscientious and any issues she will sort without delay. Very personable and has a good relationship with her staff and manages my team well. We’ve had some difficult staff in the past but Ams continues the positive approach and passes on the “can do“ attitude which is refreshing. If I have any queries or issues with the site team I know I can count on Ams for support.”

“Sofia, as it comes to the end of a busy and tough year we would just like to pass on our thanks to you and your team. You are always quick to respond to all of our requests and queries which makes our working lives so much better, so thank you. Last but not least a huge well done and thank you to Greta, who joined our team in July, she has created strong relationships with occupiers and added a warm atmosphere to our front of house. Greta takes on all tasks we pass to her and completes them in a professional and timely manner. Greta is fun to work with and has been a great addition to our team.”
Our Impact team member Ana–Maria arranged for the catering company Le Montmartre, an office catering company with good reviews and great options that suited our vision. Impact bowls are very appreciated at Kinnaird House, bringing joy and curiosity among the occupiers. Having this in mind, we decided to opt for breakfast. And what brings people together better than food! The occupiers had a really good time, they relaxed and laughed. Le Montmartre has a range of Popup options like savoury / sweet crepes, chocolate fountain, smoothie & juice bar station, ice cream station, office barbecue etc. “We are very happy to be at Kinnaird House! At the other building we were not getting this kind of popup events, and so many freebies. We love it!” Angela NZHC “Thank you very much for today, we have enjoyed the crepes pop-up. In fact, I had two of them!“ Wendy NZG “I wish we had this every morning.“ Bridget
