On 31 August 2022, The Knight held our annual information evening, An Evening with The Knight.
Our headline topic this year was ‘Creating Inclusive Communities’ and focused on accessibility and discrimination within buildings.
We were joined by Bruce Bromley of Equal Access Group who shared his 30 years of expertise with us.
To round out the evening, our Managing Director, Gregor Evans provided clients with an update on the various economic challenges currently facing Owners Corporations and the strata sector.

Challenges facing the strata sector:
The economic pressures currently impacting Owners Corporations
This topic was something a bit different from us, but which felt necessary given the multitude of pressures currently being faced by strata owners and staff alike.
We shed some light on the bigger picture of our industry, from COVID and supply chains through to staffing shortages, and provided insight into what we’re doing, and what Committees can consider to ease the burden.
