When we created Woodbourne in 2001, we were driven by a clear purpose; unlock value through the acquisition, active asset management and repositioning of Real Estate. Our ethos has always reflected a desire to build a reputable, long-term and sustainable business; maintaining strong financial discipline.
We have over 130 years of combined experience and a track record surpassing £5bn. Our team’s skills and expertise have played a pivotal role in ensuring the successful delivery of UK’s most notable and complex mixed-use schemes. Culminated with a business whose foundation has been built on integrity and hard work, supported by a robust financial position; adds an extra layer of uncommon value to any joint venture; deals on a pound for pound basis to providing development management services to landowners, occupiers, fund partners, charitable and public-sector organisations. We draw inspiration from Winston Churchill’s famous phrase “blood, toil, tears and sweat”.
We screen more than £300m of site purchase opportunities every year from an established and privileged network of relationships. Only the most compelling opportunities are selected that offer potential for significant added value through planning, development and active asset management.
Over the last decade, the Company has diversified its activities; moving from retaining assets in the long-term to securing value-add opportunities across the UK.
Locally, we encourage our team to be actively involved in the communities where they live and work, supporting local initiatives, charities and community-related activities and other philanthropic projects.
Our Chief Executive allocates two days a month to helping students develop and recognise their skills to achieve their long-term ambitions.
Globally, we recognise we are part of a wider multi-national and multi-faith community and that our daily challenges pale into insignificance compared with those faced by many others.
Consequently, the Group actively donates towards humanitarian aid relief in natural disaster areas and in conflict zones around the world.
