  • Committed to Our Communities
    The Peel Group - Committed to our communities The Peel Group has a long history of working with communities to enhance the wealth and prosperity of the areas in which we operate. We invest for the long term both in our developments and in our communities. Our vision is built around leaving a legacy for communities who can benefit from, and grow with, our transformational developments. At Peel we look to be creative and innovative in the ways we engage with our communities. Since 1996 we have supported our communities through providing in excess of £30m of in-kind support and assistance. The diversity of our engagement includes gifts of land, the use of our “Peel is more than land to create facilities that benefit the whole community, events at our operational sites to attract local people and extensive engagement with a corporate entity, schools and colleges to assist in education and training. there is an emotional attachment to what we do” Examples of our commitment span the UK. John Whittaker, Chairman The Peel Group For example, as part of Peel's Glasgow Harbour development, land valued at £18m was donated to build the multi-award winning Riverside Museum. The museum is home to over 3,000 objects that detail Glasgow’s rich past from its days as a maritime powerhouse to a glimpse into daily Glasgow life in the early to mid 20th Century. The Museum attracts over 1.1 million visitors every year. Peel often uses its land holdings to create community facilities and resources. Land adjacent to Liverpool International Business Park, on the banks of the River Mersey in Speke and Garston, was transformed into a coastal reserve as part of Peel’s work to support Liverpool Sailing Club following years of decline and increasing vandalism in the area.

Having faced major challenges in the 20th century, the North is now repositioning itself – through regeneration, technology and science, connectivity and sustainable resources. The Peel Group has, through powerful partnerships, played a part in this renaissance, by investing in transport infrastructure, media, energy and property. The Northern Powerhouse is a recognition of the scale and potential of the Northern economy, and the objective to achieve significant growth to rebalance the UK economy. As a strategic private sector investor that reinvests and recycles capital in the North, our prosperity and wellbeing is inherently linked to that of the North. We work with a wide range of partners, bringing ideas and solutions, land and water resources, expertise and capital. We take a long term perspective and have a strong track record of facilitating and delivering investment, driven by our motto of ‘determination, perseverance and patience’. We are greatly excited by the potential of the Northern Powerhouse and devolution to our public sector partners in the North. It is vital that strong leadership and clear, ambitious plans are put in place to secure direct investment in the Northern Powerhouse by both the private sector and by Government.
