Jason Upton, Chief Executive Officer said:

“I am immensely proud of our people and the progress that the Group has made in what has been a challenging year for the industry. Our annual report provides a comprehensive view of the performance of the business and our strategy going forward with four strategic priorities outlined. Our environment is challenging, but there continues to be a lack of supply of quality residential accommodation in the UK, especially within areas of the North of England. We are particularly well-positioned to satisfy market demand in our chosen sectors, and confident in delivering upon our business strategy.”
