Regeneration specialist to deliver record number of commercial schemes

Henry Boot is gearing up to deliver a record 拢500m of commercial schemes over the next four years.

The regeneration specialist - which this morning posted a 14% jump in pre-tax profit to 拢32.4m in 2015, up from 拢28.3m the previous year - said it was preparing to start work on a dozen commercial projects across the North, 90% of which are already pre-sold and pre-let.

Chairman Jamie Boot said: 鈥淭he degree to which we have already achieved pre-lets, pre-sales and planning permissions gives us great confidence in our ability to deliver these schemes profitably and we are fully focussed on this.鈥�

Henry Boot produced good results across its housing and construction divisions. The firm鈥檚 construction division was boosted by strong performance from plant hire and steady income from a PFI project.

During the year John Sutcliffe took over as chief executive of Henry Boot, while Jamie Boot stepped up to chairman.
