We have over 25 years of experience in Property, Care & Leisure.
The ability to anticipate growth industries, making shrewd investments during the good times and bad and applying meticulous attention to detail in all we do, are just a few of the reasons why we feel we have been successful on our growth journey to date. Our ambition for continued and sustainable growth remains as strong as ever, as does our ‘excellence as standard’ bottom line approach.
Strong family values and ethics within the Malhotra family have also been brought to the fore within the company with a second generation family member now on the Group Board. Corporate ethics and governance now take precedence within the Group, but remain underpinned by the values that the Malhotra family have held firm to over many generations.
Since 2016, Malhotra Group PLC has had a nominated charity of the year. For the past 6 years, the group has run different initiatives to help raise as much money as possible for the different charities. We have worked alongside both national and local charities, and so far, raised circa £75,000 for the amazing causes.
For 2023, our nominated charity for the year is the Newcastle West End Foodbank.
The Foodbank provides food parcels, meals and welfare assistance for people who are unable to afford food for themselves or their families. The ongoing cost of living crisis is resulting in more people using their services. Newcastle West End Foodbank operates a network of 7 Foodbank distribution hubs across the Newcastle city region. Their work is only made possible by the generosity of organisations and people who provide them with donations that help them to sustain their services.
As a company, we have pledged to raise funds, develop our understanding and awareness as a group, and raise awareness of the work and services provided to our local community.
If you are a charity that would like to be considered for our next nominated charity of the year, please send an email to marketing@malhotragroup.co.uk
Malhotra Group PLC is required by law to publish an annual gender pay gap report due to the number of employees within our organisation. We welcome the opportunity to analyse our data, and are pleased to confirm that, for the second year, our results show that we have significantly lower gender pay gap differentials in comparison to the key Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) figures. We are also pleased to report that our overall statistics have improved since last years’ reporting figures were released.
