Executive summary
Accelerated transition to a pure-play powered land and industrial & logistics specialist, exiting residential sector to focus on higher-returning opportunities.

Substantial data centre pipeline, including a £106.6m powered land sale to Microsoft, exclusivity on a second hyperscale site, and identification of further opportunities.
Board unanimously rejected an unsolicited takeover offer, citing undervaluation and confidence in long-term prospects.
