From today's announcement:-

Peter Mawson, Chair designate commented:

'I am absolutely delighted to be following Jamie in the role of Chair. Jamie will be a very difficult act to follow but I am determined to maintain his legacy of building a very powerful, successful and responsible business. Jamie is stepping down leaving the Group in an exceptional position, going from strength to strength in all of its key markets.'

Thought we might have had another leg up on weekend readers, but FTSE fall perhaps put paid to it.

Then it will drop like a stone …

BOOT up a stunning 2.5%! Some of the others on the list up around 40%, such as TAVI. I guess these are very illiquid so probably explains the large moves. Still at bit frustrating that even this fails to budge the BOOT share price.

[spectoacc] 11/2/2022 08:25

Thanks @CWA1. Am a subscriber but post takes a while.

Sorted SEAQs to top risers:

TAVI, VCAP are nos. 1 & 2, TEK is no.5. HAT is 4th on the SETS list.

Sold half my BOOT into the tip, will hope for another leg up.

...a bit dated ...

Company overview:
BOOT is operating in land, property and development for 135 years, currently  managing six  primary subsidiaries. Their service consists of buying a lot without a planning permission, obtaining the permission, develop site and maintain them as investment portfolio. Diversified businesses, healthy capital structure and “The Henry Boot Way” strategy for relationships with clients are the pillars on which the company builds its portfolio and future growth. The group expects performance for the year to be above Board’s expectations, supported by strong trading. Growth in the H1 is driven by raise in occupier and investment demand in logistics and industrial sectors and Group’s investment portfolio exceeds H1 forecasts. Majority of the subsidiaries are trading above expectations with HLM and Stonebridge in line with them.  Company is continuously retiring debt over the past 5 years, with CF turning negative 2020 because of a lower sales volume.

Henry Boot completes £25m residential land sale

Henry Boot's land promotion business, Hallam Land Management (HLM), has completed the sale of 760 plots to national housebuilder Barratt Developments and Vistry Partnerships for a total price of £25m.



The 125-acre site, located in Bridport, West Dorset, was contracted under a Planning Promotion Agreement in 2009. HLM then worked with the Local Planning Authority and local stakeholders to secure an allocation in the adopted West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland Local Plan in 2015. Planning permission was secured in May 2019 for 760 plots, 10 acres of employment land and further mixed-use development including shops and a primary school. The sale to Barratt Developments exchanged in 2021.



The sites community benefits include a total of 54 acres of public open space, within which 15 acres of new woodland will be planted, new leisure routes installed alongside equipped play areas, sports pitches, changing rooms, a multi-use games area and allotments.



Nick Duckworth, Managing Director of HLM, said: 'This significant deal with Barratt Developments and Vistry Partnerships will deliver much needed new homes in Bridport. It further highlights our capabilities in masterdeveloping a site to deliver homes, employment space, community facilities and open spaces.'



Philip Barnes, Group Land and Planning Director of Barratt Developments, said: 'This high-quality site is in a great location and is an excellent opportunity for us. Hallam Land Management have once again created the makings of a great scheme which we look forward to delivering to Bridport shortly.'

Very good update;with regard to comments earlier by George Stobart re a merger between Boot & Harworth I think this is highly unlikely.The Boot family are unlikely to be willing to give up their influence here & have shown no interest in mergers in the 20 years or so I have been a shareholder here!I am also a shareholder in Harworth,since in fact it began to reinvent itself from the "shell" of UK Coal, which is an excellent business and has done well,I am up nearly 400%, and also has a strong core shareholder base to drive the business.

Hopefully we can get above 350 here in short order

[george stobbart] 18/1/2022 07:43

@My Retirement Fund Harworth Group (HWG) runs a very similar business to BOOT and there has been chatter on whether these two should merge
