Our Journey So Far

  • 2023

    The Iron Circle is Founded

    Founded in late 2023 while the co‑founders were still serving in the Royal Marines Commandos, The Iron Circle began operating fully in 2025 once all three had transitioned into civilian life and focused on property full‑time.

    2026

    Full‑time operations running

    By this point, The Iron Circle has multiple successful projects under its belt, assets under management for clients and a growing reputation with landlords who trust our standards and service.
