AA Richmond plc today announced the sale of an eight acre former operational site in Basingstoke, Hampshire for £16 million. Prior to the sale AA Richmond secured planning consent for more than 95,000 ft.² of retail warehouse development on this site.
The site has a current book value of £4.3 million and was occupied by part of the AA Richmond Aerospace division until October 2002, when it relocated to Cheltenham. AA Richmond Aerospace was sold to General Electric Company in May 2007.
AA Richmond Chief Executive Philip Bowman said: "This property sale is part of our drive to maximise returns on capital for shareholders through the disposal of surplus assets within the Group".
