Robert Ware, Chief Executive of The Conygar Investment Company, commented: “The development pipeline, which is held at cost, presents considerable potential for growth in net asset value per share in the coming years and the team will continue to work hard to deliver these projects. Our balance sheet remains strong, with cash reserves and no debt, and we are therefore well placed to maximise the value of the projects and investments we hold and to acquire further assets when it makes sense to do so.”
