Chris Holman welcomes Carson Patten, Vice President, Retail Advisor, Martin Commercial Properties, and Samantha Le, Senior Associate, Retail Advisor, Martin Commercial Properties, This discussion is the third of three with Martin Commercial Properties team, and focuses on their Retail Advisory. These were the questions they cover in this conversation: Retail Advisory: Retail vacancy rates have dropped slightly despite economic pressures—what types of retail businesses are thriving, and what's driving this resilience? We've seen significant growth in build-to-suit developments. How are developers and retailers working together to create spaces that meet evolving consumer demands? With the influx of new eateries and some notable closures, how do you foresee the balance between new openings and vacancies playing out in the next year? These interviews grow out of a series of three recent reports recently released by the company. You can access them at: https://martincommercial.com/marketinsights/ . Retail '24 Market Insights: "RETAIL ‘24 Market Insights Greater Lansing Area, Michigan | H2 2024"​ The Greater Lansing Area retail market experienced significant changes in H2 2024, with the vacancy rate increasing from 13.8% in H1 2024 to 16.4%. ​ This rise was largely due to the closures of Rite Aid and Big Lots stores, which created new opportunities for smaller retailers. ​ Notable developments include Dollar Tree securing a site in Haslett, Burlington and Best Buy consolidating their leases in the West Submarket, and several popular eateries and retailers planning to open new locations across various submarkets. ​ The East Submarket, the largest retail sector in the area, saw vacancies rise to 12.8%, driven by store closures but balanced by strong leasing activity from retailers like Dollar Tree and Lansing Duck Pin. ​ The West Submarket also faced increased vacancies due to store consolidations, but it is attracting significant interest from major retailers such as Bass Pro Shops, which is set to open an 85,000 SF store in Delta Crossings. ​The North Submarket experienced a decrease in vacancies, becoming a sought-after destination with new restaurants and entertainment venues like Dave & Buster's and Cooper's Hawk Winery. Despite the South Submarket having the highest vacancy rate at 29.4%, it is witnessing a revival with new fast food establishments like Dunkin' and Wingstop. ​ Overall, the Greater Lansing retail market saw a net absorption of -216,877 SF, indicating a decrease in occupied space. ​ Martin Commercial Properties continues to provide comprehensive real estate services and market insights, helping businesses navigate the evolving retail landscape in the region.

Progressive's Gareth Evans recently sat down with Jason Paltrowitz, Executive Vice President, Corporate Services at OTC Markets. The two discuss how the business operates and the opportunities that the OTC offers for companies and investors. 00:00 Opener 00:31 What are OTC Markets, and how do they operate? 02:58 Are there any additional regulatory overheads? 04:50 Is the ability to offer easier-to-manage shares for US employees a motivator for listing? 07:13 How much of the growth in volume trading comes from new companies listing, and how much comes from trading of existing stocks? 08:59 Do you think we'll ever reach overnight trading? 11:37 I see you run a $1billon + index, could you talk about why companies of that scale are interested in having an OTC listing? 13:25 What are the costs of listing on the OTC? 16:51 Closing comments OTC Markets offers the ability for UK-listed companies to list and trade their shares in the USA.  The regulatory structure is almost unbelievably flexible, relying on the UK stock market regulations with little to no additional requirement.  The opportunity for additional liquidity and investor interest is significant, and a number of companies - large and small - are looking to the OTC to help them find a new pool of investors. 

MEP Maria Walsh, has this week launched the EU BlueLightS programme in Ireland funded by the EU Horizon Europe, at the Marine Institute, with schools around Ireland - bringing the blue (ocean, rivers, and lakes) into classrooms. Congratulating Camden Education and the Marine Institute on this collaboration MEP Walsh highlighted the importance of bringing sciences, communications and creativity together to share key messages about climate change and well-being with the wider community. "It is wonderful to see the BlueLightS / Explorers Innovative projects providing schools with an opportunity to develop their skills in design, communications and creativity by introducing climate change topics into the curriculum. Using the arts and story-telling is an excellent way to share key messages about climate change. Showing how marine science can support climate solutions is a fun and engaging way to create and share solutions at a community level", MEP Walsh added. As part of the launch of BlueLightS in Ireland, two schools: Kilglass National School, Galway and Brittas Bay Mixed National School, Wicklow, have recently been awarded funding for the EU BlueLightS Challenge. Schools from Limerick, Dublin and Cork have also been included in receiving support from the BlueLightS / Explorers team in facilitating projects where the students will be using the recently launched Explorers Climate Change Superhero educational resources. It is a brilliant achievement for these schools to be selected. They will be among 32 other schools across Europe who that will also be completing their own projects raising awareness about the "blue" (rivers and the ocean) being included on the curriculum this year," added MEP Walsh The EU BlueLightS/Explorers Innovative project includes completing an all-school project that facilitates reaching out to their wider community to engage in a conversation about the health of their ocean and rivers and incorporating marine themes on the curriculum. Welcoming MEP Walsh to the Marine Institute, Ms Patricia Orme, Director of Corporate Services, said "The Marine Institute have been working with primary schools for nearly 20 years through the Explorers Education Programme and we welcome the opportunity to support the BlueLightS project with the recent development of the Explorers Climate Change modules". Ms Orme added "Providing children and schools with an opportunity to learn about the ships we use for research, monitoring of the health of the ocean through our lab work, and learning about how marine animals are impacted by climate change is important for all of us. It helps us engage with communities and improve our understanding of our impact on the ocean - and to understand how the ocean impacts our lives". The primary school classes that take part in the project will work with the Explorers outreach teams and BlueLightS team where they will tell their climate stories through the arts and creative writing. A special book will be created showcasing a selection of the children's creative work and later presented to the schools and key stakeholders across Europe. Bernard Kirk, CEO of Camden Education, further highlighted that the collaboration with the Marine Institute is transforming how we teach climate change and sustainability. "By providing teachers with real-life marine examples and resources that align with the new primary school curriculum and the secondary school climate change subject, BlueLightS helps students develop a deeper understanding of these crucial topics. This helps build a foundation for a generation committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and addressing the impacts of climate change." Primary schools are invited to apply to have a class participate in the EU BlueLightS/Explorers Innovative pilot project, by contacting the Explorers team. The schools selected will have an Explorers team member visit their class and assist in the delivery of the module. BlueLightS is an EU Horizon...

Kate Harris and Bev Jackson were introduced to each other in 2019 by a mutual acquaintance who saw they shared similar concerns about Stonewall's abandonment of gay and lesbian rights.

Going out, and like most people, you know, if you want, you need to go out and talk in front of an audience, et cetera, that was really tough. And so I always had to push myself along the way, and I think it's particularly true for a lot of women in roles where they kind of go, you know, I'll just kind of keep on the sidelines and be a little bit quiet. You have to push yourself out there. So was that a personal challenge for me? Yes. I think I've kind of got over that, I actually enjoy doing sessions like this with you and sharing experiences and so on. But that I think was a personal challenge for me. Just pushing myself to be more out there.”*”People need to know what their roles are, to be clear about what their roles are, to understand how they contribute to the overall organization. And that means being able to communicate regularly on what our goals are, how we're advancing on them and how their part fits into that. And that allows our people to feel valued, to feel recognized. And, that's a big part of what drives folks. And for people who manage others, it's also taking the time to understand what drives everybody. Because what drives you, Daniel, may not be what drives me. I may give you a huge raise, but that's not really what you're looking for. I mean, you'll take it. You won't say no, but you may actually want different recognition and other people are the total opposite. So it's really understanding, having that personal interaction with people, I think that's really important for us, for example, as well, it's being able to ensure alignment and closeness around our offices globally. That was one of our big challenges.”Time Stamps*[02:53] Maarika's path into finance*[06:56] Unforeseen obstacles in Maarika's career*[09:53] Segment: Cash Crossroads*[13:31] Deploying new strategies when investing*[19:53] A CFO's thoughts on inflation*[21:27] New tech and automation in financial reporting*[24:40] Segment: The Playbook*[30:41] Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) in financial analysis*[38:28] Segment: The Report from the Future*[43:52] Implementing a Chief Liquidity Officer?*[45:02] Maarika on AI replacing people in the future*[47:10] Viewing competitor CFOs as industry peersSponsorThe Invisible Vault is powered by the team at Kyriba, the global leader in cloud treasury and finance solutions, empowering CFOs and their teams to transform how they activate liquidity as a dynamic, real-time vehicle for growth and value creation.
