<p>Timothy Allen talks with Swen Lorenz.</p>
<p>On today's show I’m speaking with Swen Lorenz again. Swen co-runs the Sark Property Company and as the title of the episode suggests, they have some exciting news about their investment plans and the general future of Sark. </p>
<p>I caught up with Swen in London a couple of weeks ago but have been holding back the episode until The Sunday Times had published it's major exclusive article on the same subject a few days ago.</p>
<p>In the episode we discuss The Sark Property Company's upcoming cash bid for the Sark estate currently owned by the Barclay family. This should be of interest to you if you’re a Sarkey, an incomer to Sark or indeed just Sark-curious, as I know many of you are.</p>
<p>Enjoy the conversation.</p>
