Peel Group : ウィキペディア英語版
The Peel Group

The Peel Group (commonly known by its former name Peel Holdings) is a private real estate, media, transport and infrastructure investment company in the United Kingdom. Peel's extensive real estate assets consists of 850,000 square metres (9 million square feet) of investment property and over 13,000 hectares (33,000 acres) of land. Peel is one of the largest property investment companies in the United Kingdom, and has its head office at the Trafford Centre, in Greater Manchester.
The Trafford Centre which opened in 1998 was Peel's first major foray into real estate development. The centre was sold in 2011 to Capital Shopping Centres (now Intu Properties) for £1.6 billion making it the largest property acquisition in British history and the biggest European property deal of 2011. Other projects which Peel have developed include MediaCityUK and Scout Moor Wind Farm. Including these tangible assets, Peel owns a number of key equity stakes in companies, such as a majority stake in The Pinewood Studios Group.
The Group is led by John Whittaker who maintains a 75% majority stake in the Group, with the Olayan Group owning a minority 25% stake. Its long-term aim is to make the North West of England the leading economic region in the United Kingdom. The majority of its developments are mainly concentrated on the region. The Group is currently focused on the £50 billion Ocean Gateway development for North West England.
==History==

Between 1971 and 1987, the group's founder, John Whittaker acquired Peel Mills, John Bright's and the Manchester Ship Canal Company. John Whittaker was born in Lancashire, and many of his ancestors were involved in the cotton industry. The company evolved into Peel Holdings to reflect its status as a property investment company, abandoning the name of Peel Mills. The group remained quiet for the next decade with little development and from 1971 to 1987, the group focused on purchasing shares in the Manchester Ship Canal Company.〔 The underused ship canal had fallen into disrepair, its size too small for many of the seafaring vessels of today. By the mid-1980s, Whittaker had acquired the majority of the shares in the company and in 1987, with the necessary shares the group privatised the Manchester Ship Canal,〔 despite opposition from Manchester City Council. Peel and the Manchester Council has consequently endured a difficult relationship, with Manchester Council being more ambivalent towards Peel's proposals than those of other Greater Manchester councils where most of Peel's investments are situated. Most recently, in 2011, a proposal to build an eight-storey block of flats in the historic district of Castlefield was rejected for the fifth time by Manchester City Council. The Ship Canal has consequently become a key hub for the Peel Group with numerous developments on the banks of the canal.
The largest asset of the group was formerly the Trafford Centre. In 1986, Peel submitted a planning application for a large shopping centre development on land attached to the Manchester Ship Canal, adjacent to the M63, now the M60, in Trafford, Greater Manchester. The plans had been originally conceived in 1984, with the centre opening in 1998 after one of the most prolonged and expansive planning processes in British history.
In 1997, the Peel Group became involved in airport ownership for the first time. A 76% shareholding in Liverpool Airport was acquired, with Peel taking complete control in 2000 and renaming the airport Liverpool John Lennon Airport. RAF Finningley was purchased in 1999 and redeveloped as Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield, opening in 2005.〔 In 2002, Barton Aerodrome was purchased by the Manchester Ship Canal Development Company (a joint venture between Peel and Manchester City Council) and was subsequently renamed City Airport Manchester. The final addition to the Peel Airports portfolio was Durham Tees Valley Airport, with a 75% stake being bought in 2003 - ownership of the remaining 25% of DTVA was retained by several local councils.〔
Results were mixed, and the Peel Group began looking for an outside investor for Peel Airports. In June 2010 it was announced that Vantage Airport Group (formerly Vancouver Airport Services) had bought a 65% shareholding in Peel Airports, while the Peel Group retained the remaining 35%. The new management team at Peel Airports quickly began disposing of assets, selling them back to the Peel Group. First to go was City Airport Manchester in 2011,〔 followed by Durham Tees Valley Airport in February 2012.〔 Sale of the loss-making DTVA resulted in a one-off impairment charge of £8.8m, causing Peel Airports' losses to rise from £3.2m to £11.4m. The same year, Robin Hood Airport made an operating loss of £3.4m (down from £3.7m the previous year)〔 and in December 2012 it was announced that this airport had also been sold back to the Peel Group.
Liverpool John Lennon Airport was therefore left as the sole remaining facility in the co-ownership of Peel and Vantage, a situation which continued for a further 16 months. In the year to 31 March 2013, Liverpool Airport reported a pre-tax loss of £7.1m on turnover of £31.6m, and auditor KPMG said the airport faced "material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern".〔 http://www.placenorthwest.co.uk/news/archive/15700-peel-buys-back-liverpool-airport.html〕 On 24 April 2014, it was announced that Vantage had sold their shareholding in Liverpool Airport back to Peel; this ended Vantage's four-year involvement with Peel Airports .〔 http://www.placenorthwest.co.uk/news/archive/15700-peel-buys-back-liverpool-airport.html〕
In 2004, Peel Holdings which was the largest company on the AIM Market went private in a £1.3 billion deal and became the Peel Group. Peel sold the Trafford Centre in January 2011 to Capital Shopping Centres (CSC) for £1.6bn.
The group moved into the energy sector in 2008 with the opening of Scout Moor Wind Farm on the West Pennine Moors in Greater Manchester nearby Edenfield and Rochdale. Peel announced their intention to expand in the scheme in 2011, with the possibility of selling shares to local people to make an investment and appease opposition.
In 2011, Peel launched a takeover bid of the Pinewood Studios Group. Peel already had a minority shareholding of 29% and bought further shares at a cost of £96 million, bringing their shareholding to 71.1%. This fell short of the required 75% necessary to delist the Pinewood Group and also the 90% for a complete takeover. As Peel were acquiring shares, another company, Warren James Jewellers, purchased 26% of shares as a blocking stake and believed Peel's 200p-a-share offer was too low. Consequently, Pinewood Studios Group is now majority owned by Peel and minority owned by Warren James Jewellers, both companies are based in Greater Manchester. Possible motives for Peel's takeover of Pinewood was the possibility of expertise to help their MediaCityUK development, whilst Warren James have had a stake in the group since 2007 and has provided jewellery for films shot at Pinewood Studios. One of Peel's first actions was to apply for planning permission for its 'Project Pinewood' scheme. The £200m scheme would have created up to 1,400 themed homes and various streetscapes which would double on as dwellings and filming locations, but this proposal was rejected in early 2012. In August 2012, Peel purchased the Lowry Outlet Mall in Salford Quays with plans to improve the retail centre.
