Sekhon Group loves to bring back to life disused buildings, giving them a useful purpose once again. We have identified profitable development opportunities where others have failed.

Sekhon Group has a proven track record of delivering high quality apartments; converting significant properties into beautiful luxury apartments. This has been achieved using personal and family resources but also employing capital from business colleagues which demonstrates the flexibility and skill-set to work with other business entrepreneurs.

We have rarely disposed of any assets due to the desire to build equity to fuel the future development projects. Recently we have negotiated deals to raise capital through selling 66 apartments in one transaction and another 30 apartments in another, to long term private investors.

The Sekhon Group have successfully managed to assemble almost £70m worth of property.

Bradford is the fourth UK City of Culture in May 2022. It’s a huge honour. It’s a massive responsibility. And it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

There will be 12 unforgettable months of creativity, culture and the arts across Bradford District. From New Year’s Day to New Year’s Eve, 2025 is set to explode with culture – by and for everyone, with much of it completely free to see.

We’re asking hundreds of local, national and international artists, dancers and musicians to join us in 2025 and make something new – just for us, just for you. But we’re also throwing the spotlight on the people of our city, which is among the youngest, the most diverse and the most exciting in the nation.

Bradford 2025 will be a celebration of Bradford, its cultures and its people – right here, right now. From artists to businesses, schools to community groups, we’re inviting people across Bradford to help us create a year of culture that could only happen here.

We revealed the first events on the Bradford 2025 programme in September 2024, with much more due to be announced in the coming months. And next year is just the beginning. Bradford 2025 will serve as a springboard to tomorrow, acting as a catalyst for regeneration and change. It’s 365 days to make history, celebrate our present – and dream up our future.

Welcome to Bradford 2025.

It’s our time – and it starts here.

We want our region to be recognised globally as a strong, successful economy where everyone can build great businesses, careers and lives.

We bring together local councils and businesses to achieve this vision, so that everyone in our region can benefit from economic prosperity supported by a modern, accessible transport network, housing and digital connections.

The majority of our work covers the West Yorkshire local authority areas of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield, plus the City of York.

Need help with your Business Funding?

After nearly 20 years working in the banking and finance sector, working with business of all shapes and sizes and all sectors I know first hand the challenges that businesses have with accessing and comparing their funding options.  As a result of this I decided to set up my own business allowing business owners to concentrate to do what they do best – run their own business – whilst I work for them to get the best, most cost effective funding options. I work with all lenders and use my expertise to structure and cost the best facilities for my clients.

Allica is a bank built especially for established businesses with between 5 and 250 employees.

These businesses make up a third of UK employment and turnover, yet the service they get from the big banks is increasingly impersonal, inconvenient, and poor value. We don’t think that’s right.

Allica is on a mission to give established businesses the banking they deserve. That means a current account with no monthly fees, a relationship manager whose name and number they actually know, and technology that makes life easier, not harder.

It's business banking how it used to be, just better.
