'Exceptional' London lures world's wealthiest This continuity and knowledge of just what it is that constitutes the partnership has allowed us to expand on our terms and retain the identity of, what I like to think, is a distinguished brand. We are a global business, with a large proportion of our employees in our overseas offices, and it is very pleasing to see that the concept of independence, founded on the partnership structure, has proved attractive there too. One aspect of our business that has proved to be particularly important is our ability to tap into the flow of global wealth from around the world. I have worked in property in both London and Hong Kong for more than 35 years, but am constantly amazed at the Capital's attraction or the "exceptionalism of London" as our head of research refers to it. The world's wealthiest men and women still want to buy property, create homes for their families and invest in London because of our history, culture, governance and political stability. London will retain its attraction to global wealth because of these factors and give our business a very strong basis from which to grow and look forward to the future.
