Property Development and Investment
     
 
 
   
 

All Points North is a property development company operating principally in the North of England.

 
   
  History
   

 

The Company was established in March 1993 by Bernard Keith Chadwick and John Anthony Lyons and initially held one investment property in Blackpool, Lancashire. At that time Keith and John were the Chief Executive and Property Development Director of Independent British Hospitals plc respectively. Subsequently Independent British Hospitals plc merged and the resulting holding company of those merged companies was independent British Healthcare plc (“IBH”). IBH was a company which developed and operated private hospitals throughout the UK and in 1996 it was admitted to trading on AIM with Keith Chadwick as its Chief Executive.

In October 1998, John Maxwell Elliot previously the principal architect for IBH was appointed Managing Director of the Company. The strategy of the Company was and still is, to identify suitable properties to acquire which have the potential for development, obtaining planning permission where necessary, developing the site, letting and either selling or retaining the property.

The first significant deal by the Company was in 1998 through the acquisition of four shop units in Whitehaven, Cumbria. These were converted into two large retail units, rented to Peacocks and Car Phone Warehouse. In June 1999 the Company purchased an ex Safeway supermarket which was developed and sold in 2003. The profits from these transactions gave the Company a platform to build from and acquire addition properties for development.
