Alan Charlesworth (Business Development)
Cygnet was formed in July 1997. The aim of the Company from its outset has been
to invest in the UK's commercial property market. Primarily, the Company acquires
freehold properties where angles exist to increase the revenue and enhance capital
values. Upon maturity, a property is either retained within the long term investment
portfolio, or traded for the benefit of cash flow and profit opportunities.
The company portfolio includes many well let investments, with high quality covenant
strength and long unexpired terms. However, the Company has not been risk-averse,
often acquiring vacant properties and through proactive marketing, refurbishment
works and offering flexible occupation terms, have produced fully occupied business
centres with healthy rent rolls.
Where appropriate, Cygnet has taken strategic partnerships with other organisations,
either for the benefit of their specialist knowledge or to share in a capital intensive
project.
The Board of Directors collectively has over 200 years of business, property and
banking experience. While the current economic downturn will inevitably bring challenges
to the sector, the Company is well placed to see itself through these trying times.
Factors that will assist Cygnet are its wide ranging mix of tenants as well as conservative
gearing ratio.
