Going the Extra Mile

Posted onOctober 16, 2019

Mark Rogerson, based at Duke Street’s RNIB office, has set himself the challenge of completing the world’s biggest marathons in aid of the charity’s commitment to challenging exclusion, inequality and isolation for those with sight loss.

Mark (pictured on the left with JB Leitch's Finance Director Andrew Taylor) has been taking on various challenges to raise money for the charity since his sight loss diagnosis in 2013, and has, to date, completed the Chicago, Berlin and London marathons as part of Team RNIB, raising over £20,000 so far.

As well as the London marathon next April, Mark is hoping to complete the remainder of the six most iconic running events in the world. He’ll be running in New York in November this year and has applied for places in both the 2020 Boston and Tokyo marathons. Mark could potentially be one of the first runners with sight loss to complete all six marathons.

JB Leitch is proud to support Mark’s ongoing efforts and commitment with Jonathan Leitch adding “Mark’s dedication is inspirational. His determination to raise awareness and reduce the barriers for people living with sight loss is admirable, and we are delighted to be able to continue supporting Mark and the wider RNIB team”.

Over the last five years we have built a solid relationship with JB Leitch, they have provided us with a remarkable ground rent collection service for our freehold property portfolio on criteria and non-criteria debts. They provide a fast, effective recovery of our stand alone Ground Rent and also through their bolt-on Service Charge recovery by liaising with multiple managing agents on our behalf.

I would highly recommend JB Leitch although part of me would like to keep them a secret to ensure we have the advantage over competitors. They have increased my knowledge of the legal processes as well as the preparation required to avoid any issues from the beginning.

After using JB Leitch for a number of years, we have personally found them to be very professional and reliable. Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward use JB Leitch on a large number of blocks and have recovered an outstanding amount of service charge arrears, in a particular case recovering over £12,000 from one owner.
Carl Warland - Block & Portfolio Management Director - Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward
JB Leitch are simply excellent. It is good to know that we are dealing with a market leading firm who provide superb quality up-to-date advice. When we give JB Leitch an instruction, whether a routine enfranchisement or a complex leasehold query they always deliver. They are highly responsive, professional and have a great team. A pleasure to do business with!
