Robert Ware, Chief Executive, commented:
“The disposals of the assets at Parc Cybi, Anglesey, and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, and the conditional sale of our property at Selly Oak, Birmingham, emphasise the Group's desire to realise value when opportunities arise. Funds raised from these disposals will be recycled into our other projects.
In spite of the current political uncertainty, the Group is well placed to deliver the existing developments and to take advantage of any market volatility we could see in the coming months, with cash of £39.9 million and no borrowings.”
