Henry Boot Corporate Events
Henry Boot reported a resilient trading performance for 2025 despite subdued UK property markets and macroeconomic uncertainty, with strong demand for its high-quality residential land and profits expected to be broadly in line with market consensus. The group accelerated planning applications for over 11,000 plots at Hallam Land, achieved record residential plot sales, expanded its stake and landbank at Stonebridge Homes, progressed major industrial, logistics and mixed-use schemes, and completed the sale of Henry Boot Construction to sharpen its focus on land, property development and premium homes, though this strategy and the build-out of its pipeline have pushed net debt and gearing slightly above target levels. While Hallam Land and HBD continue to perform well and the investment portfolio is outperforming the wider market, Stonebridge Homes’ completions undershot expectations amid softer trading and planning delays, and the expiry of the Road Link contract plus a lower forward sales position mean the board now expects 2026 profit before tax to come in significantly below current market expectations, signalling a near-term earnings dip before the group’s enlarged land and development pipeline can translate into higher medium-term growth.

Henry Boot’s development arm HBD, in partnership with St John’s College Cambridge, has secured outline planning consent for FREEPORT 36, a 5.5 million sq ft industrial and logistics park at Goole within the Humber Freeport tax site, with an anticipated first-phase gross development value of about £130m. The 300-acre, sustainability-focused scheme, strategically located near Junction 36 of the M62 and the Humber Ports complex, is expected to create thousands of jobs, deliver more than 10% biodiversity net gain, and offer occupiers access to a wide range of Freeport tax and national insurance incentives, strengthening Henry Boot’s position in large-scale manufacturing and logistics developments and underlining the Humber region’s growing role as a national trade and industrial hub.

Henry Boot’s land promotion arm Hallam Land has completed the sale of a freehold site in Swindon with planning permission for 366 homes to national housebuilder Vistry, delivering an ungeared IRR of 9.2% and helping the business surpass its 2025 annual sales target with a record 3,957 residential plot disposals. The transaction is the second phase of a larger South Marston strategic scheme where Hallam Land and partners have secured outline consent for 2,380 homes and significant community infrastructure, and, with 304 plots still retained for future sale, the deal underscores strong housebuilder demand for consented land and positions Henry Boot to benefit from UK planning reforms aimed at accelerating housing delivery.

Henry Boot’s development arm HBD has injected three new industrial and logistics schemes, with a combined gross development value of £56m and totaling 262,000 sq ft, into Origin, its joint venture with Feldberg Capital. The Spark (Walsall), Aptus (Preston) and Ark (Markham Vale) projects, all located close to key motorway junctions and targeting high ESG standards such as BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ ratings, are due to start construction by the end of January 2026 and complete from the second half of 2026. These additions build on Origin’s initial £100m seed portfolio, whose three assets have now completed on time and on budget and are seeing active leasing, supported by a development loan facility that has been increased from £54m to £85m as new assets are added. The move underscores Henry Boot and Feldberg’s confidence in the structurally undersupplied UK mid-box industrial and logistics sector, strengthens HBD’s committed development programme and fee-generating role as development manager, and signals further expansion of the JV’s UK-wide Grade A logistics footprint.
