Anthony Glossop, Chairman, comments:

“Market confidence in the underlying strength of our business and in our reputation as the UK’s leading regeneration specialist was further underlined this year by our continued selection as preferred developer on major sites across the country, including BP’s 2,500 acre portfolio of disused sites.

“We continue to transact a steady flow of business, and since 30 November 2008, we have agreed forward sales or the disposal of pre-let properties with a value of some £90m, and have rent roll increases, completed or in solicitors’ hands, of £4.9m (£2.6m net of vacations and tenant failures).

“Despite the very difficult current economic environment our confidence in the longer-term is undiminished. The market for residential land will eventually return and investment yields will stabilise as the benefits from lower interest rates are realised. When this occurs, the company’s 5,000 acre hopper and experienced management team will provide an exceptional foundation for a return to growth.”
