At his smithy in Dorset, Duncan Meads works on a set of wrought-iron railings – outwardly indistinguishable from ones made 200 years ago – that will be used to restore a period property to its original condition.

Overview

Corporate Strategy

British Land seeks to achieve long-term growth in shareholder value by:

  • focusing on prime assets
    in the office and retail sectors;
  • creating exceptional long-term investments
    with strong covenants, long lease profiles and growth potential;
  • enhancing property returns
    through active management and development; and
  • maximising risk-adjusted returns
    through optimal financing and partnership with others.

The key to high returns is flexibility, in terms of business organisation, deals and financing, to take advantage of shifts in the property market.
