Section 1 - This Week at a Glance: New Members, New Investors, and Personal Growth

This week has been an exciting one for both personal and professional growth. We’re thrilled to welcome a new member into the Ascend3 Network, as well as a new investor into AlphaGenix, both incredible steps forward in expanding our reach and continuing to build momentum.

On a more personal note, I'm slowly but steadily recovering, though it’s taking longer than I would have liked. After some careful research, I’ve decided to attend a 7-day wellness retreat in Chennai next week to help accelerate my recovery and further focus on my health. It feels like the right move to truly heal.

In other news, I’ve been in daily contact with my fellow climbers who are currently hunkered down in -30°C conditions, around two-thirds of the way up Denali. I’m keeping everything crossed for them and sending all the good energy their way.

I’ve been absolutely overwhelmed by the support from family, friends, colleagues, and associates, your kind words and encouragement have meant the world. It’s deeply appreciated.

Wishing you all a great week ahead, and thank you again for your unwavering support.

Section 2 - Investment Opportunity: Reco HQ – Social Wellness Club in Battersea, London

Overview
Reco HQ is set to redefine the wellness space by combining cutting-edge recovery therapies with social wellness experiences. The flagship location in Battersea, London, will cater to everyday social wellness athletes, blending high-performance recovery with a spa-like atmosphere for longevity and lifestyle.

Investment Opportunity
Emily Hughes is raising £1 million to launch Reco HQ’s flagship location. The funding round is closing by the end of June, with £675,000 already secured from investors, leaving £325,000 remaining to meet the target. SEIS/EIS approval is in place, making it an attractive opportunity for investors.

The Concept
Reco HQ will feature infrared saunas, steam rooms, a recovery room, café, sports nutrition store, and event space, all designed for physical recovery and social connection. The model is inspired by successful concepts like P3 Recovery and Remedy Place in the U.S. and Australia, but uniquely focuses on sports recovery for everyday wellness athletes in the UK.

Why Emily Hughes?
Emily is a 3x founder with experience in beauty, wellness, and food & beverage industries. She previously built Jeco Bowl, a successful event catering brand now franchised. With her deep experience in wellness (including roles at David Lloyd and Nirvana Spa) and as an investor in CLIQ, Emily is well-positioned to lead Reco HQ to success.

Growth Strategy
The growth strategy centers on scaling via asset-light models, including management agreements, licensing, and franchising. Emily is collaborating with a spa and fitness contractor to create a plug-and-play solution for seamless integration with retail, office, and residential developers.

Next Steps
Emily is keen to discuss the opportunity further and arrange a call to explain the plans.

Section 4 - Events, Offers, Insights and Announcements: 🚨 We’re Hiring: Managing Director for a High-Growth Healthcare Venture 🚨

This is not your average MD role. We’re building something bold and global in the healthcare space—and we’re looking for an exceptional leader to help scale it to eight figures and beyond.

The right person will:

✅ Be experienced in growing and leading companies from early-stage to serious scale

✅ Have a proven track record of raising capital from angels, institutions, and private investors

✅ Be commercially sharp, people-savvy, and excited by the challenge of building a world-class team

✅ Thrive in an environment where international expansion is on the cards

✅ Have the stamina and skillset to turn a big vision into an operational reality

💥 This is a rare opportunity to lead a business with global potential. 

Compensation starts lean, but includes a performance-based ratchet—triggered by hitting key milestones like revenue growth, profitability, international footprint, and team size. The more you build, the more you earn.

We are not just hiring a manager—we’re looking for a true builder.

If you (or someone in your network) has what it takes to take a rocketship to orbit, I’d love to speak with you.

Section 5 - Property with Paul Langshaw. Adapting to the Upcoming Renters Reform Bill: What You Need to Know

As a follow-up to my last post, I continue to explore the upcoming opportunities within the Renters Reform Bill. Landlords may need to rethink their current operations and consider restructuring to thrive under these new regulations.

Key Changes to Your Operations

The Renters Reform Bill will demand significant changes in how you manage your properties. Here's what you’ll need to focus on to stay ahead of the curve:

Essential Documentation Updates

• Tenancy Agreements: With the reforms, fixed-term clauses will need to be removed, and notice periods for periodic tenancies must be updated. It's crucial to clearly outline the new Section 8 possession grounds. You’ll also need to specify key situations, such as property sales or family occupation. If you’re part of a landlord body, this will be a vital resource to help navigate the changes effectively.

• Inventory Documentation: This will become your first line of defense. Comprehensive, timestamped photographic records showing the exact property conditions at the start of a tenancy are essential. Be detailed about existing wear and maintenance standards, as this documentation may play a critical role in any disputes down the line.

Smart Record-Keeping

• Tracking Communication: Record every tenant communication, particularly maintenance requests and your responses. As tenant rights to safe, well-maintained properties become more prominent, your response times will be vital proof of your compliance with the legislation.

• Standardised Forms: Develop digital forms for inspections, maintenance scheduling, and repair certificates. Use systems that automatically timestamp entries and store photographs for maximum protection in case of disputes.

Restructuring for Success

• Centralising Maintenance Operations: Shift from handling repairs reactively to implementing preventative maintenance schedules. Build strong relationships with reliable contractors to ensure quick and efficient repairs, reducing emergency callouts and showcasing proactive management.

• Rent Review Processes: Reform your rent review system to be transparent and market-driven. Ditch automatic annual increases in favor of reviews based on property improvements or genuine changes in the market.

Creating Competitive Advantage

For the smart investor, these compliance updates can be seen as a competitive edge rather than just a cost. By getting this right, you’ll differentiate yourself as a professional landlord, less likely to fall afoul of the law. In a market where compliance is becoming more crucial than ever, getting ahead now will position you as a leader in the sector.

As always, I encourage landlords to stay proactive, review your operations, and start implementing changes now to avoid falling behind when the Renters Reform Bill comes into effect.

Let me know if you have any questions or need help with the restructuring process.

Kind healthy regards

Ross
