Robert Ware, Chief Executive, commented:
“The outlook is highly uncertain. We expect the impact of COVID-19 to significantly affect the progression of and carrying values for our investment and development properties over the coming year. While there remains considerable uncertainty as to how the pandemic will play out, compounded by the impact of a fast approaching Brexit, and pressures on market rents from business closures and rising unemployment, it is extremely difficult confidently to predict the future.”
