Ready for their solo

Article Abstract:

King Sturge & Co Senior Partner Malcolm King recalls that he never sought to question whether he should establish a career in the property industry or not, as property was the family profession. In contrast, his son Oliver considered other careers. Sir Nigel Mobbs, the third-generation head of Slough Estates, expresses admiration for his father, while his son, Christopher, feels that he is very successful and knowledgeable. Healey & Baker Chmn Sir Brian Goswell feels that he must have indirectly influenced his sons Paul and Angus in their decision to become chartered surveyors.

Warner's wake-up call

Article Abstract:

Warner Estate Chmn Philip Warner believes that purchasing stakes in other property companies will play a valuable part in the company's strategy of entering the FTSE 350 in 2004. He expresses particular interest in Merivale Moore, in which Warner Estate increased its stake from 21% to 29.2% in late Apr 1999. He is willing to raise gearing from 60% to 80% or even more, permitting him to invest around 100 million pounds sterling in properties and acquisitions.
