Strategic Insights

Market Harborough-based Fisher German, a leading property consultancy, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a bold fundraising challenge. As part of the 'Big 25' charity challenge, colleagues from their Market Harborough office are embarking on a six-day, 100-mile walk and cycle to the firm's Bury St Edmunds office, raising money for 25 charities, with Hope Against Cancer being the chosen beneficiary. This charity is close to the heart of Julia Dilworth, a Senior Estates Administrator at Fisher German, who was diagnosed with Acute APML Leukaemia 20 years ago and has been in remission since. The challenge has already smashed its initial target of £25,000 and, with Fisher German pledging to match-fund donations up to £25,000, over £50,000 will be split equally between the 25 charities.
