| Activites | Watkin Jones plc provides an end-to-end solution in developing large scale, multi occupancy accommodation projects, with a primary focus on the student accommodation market. The Company is one of very few players that operate across the entire development lifecycle from site procurement, planning and construction to ultimate scheme management. Watkin Jones’s end to end solution is unusual and this combined with its considerable track record and existing relationships with investors could provide a degree of protection if competition in the sector increases due to the attractive market dynamics that exist. The Director’s believe that the focus, market knowledge and ability to work across the entire development cycle can potentially help provide it a competitive advantage and ability to enhance returns. Watkin Jones’s geographical coverage, its focus on and experience in the sector leaves it well placed to compete with other market participants who either do not specialise in student accommodation or operate an owner/asset manager model. | Security Type | Equity |
