Pathfinder Business Strategies

Solving the land puzzle

The idea is simple: many public sector organisations have buildings which are used inefficiently. By working collaboratively and sharing buildings, it is possible to release redundant buildings for sale, reduce overall running costs, provide a better service to the public and make sites available for development.

This is exactly what the Worcestershire Partnership - which includes the area’s county and district councils, Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, West Mercia Police Authority, and the NHS - is doing through its capital and asset pathfinder initiative. It has been running the initiative with the Communities and Local Government department to demonstrate that public sector organisations can better use their land and buildings to improve services and generate savings.

National scheme

It is one of 11 such initiatives - councils, police forces and fire services in Cambridgeshire, Durham, Hackney, Hampshire, Hull, Leeds, Leicestershire, Solihull, Swindon and Wigan are all conducting similar exercises.

In June, the Worcestershire Partnership launched its long-term strategy in response to the work it has done through the pathfinder initiative. We’ve been able to show how organisations can work together to make land available. The next step is to identify organisations which own underused adjacent buildings so they can be marketed together and sold off.

Inside Housing is calling for more land to be made available for development though its Get on our Land campaign. The work Worcestershire Partnership is doing is a perfect example of how public sector organisations, together with private sector property owners, are able to assemble sites.

For example, we’re in the middle of piecing together a site in the heart of Bromsgrove that it is hoped will be large enough to develop an extra care sheltered housing scheme. We have also identified a possible joint land sale in Redditch that is suitable for building a significant amount of housing.

Pathfinder Business Strategies Offers Timely Tax Saving Strategies ...

Pathfinder Business Strategies, LLC a privately held company which advises corporations, consumers & small to mid size companies on asset protection, tax savings & wealth building strategies is urging all Americans to structure their finances properly to save as much money as possible on their taxes, and to prepare for the economic uncertainty facing the country.

Pathfinder, which is located in Sebastian Florida, is run by Drew Miles, a former attorney who after practicing law for thirteen years realized that most of his clients were unprepared financially for any sort of drastic economic downturn. “When the economy takes a turn for a worse, everyone starts tightening their belts,” said Mr. Miles. “But one place that is often overlooked is the amount of taxes they pay.”

Pathfinder Business Strategies has advised more than 5,000 small and large businesses, as well as individuals how to arrange their assets and income to pay the absolute legal minimum in taxes. “We have found that the wealthiest people in the country are paying as little as 5% of their income in taxes, while the average person is paying upwards of 30-50% of their income in taxes.” Drew Miles advises that the best way to prepare for a rocky economic future is to make sure that you are keeping all the money that you are legally entitled to.
