Client: Newbury Racecourse

PROJECT: NEW CORPORATE STRATEGY

 
Project: New corporate strategy to optimise the return on existing assets

 

BUSINESS NEEDS

Newbury is a premier racecourse occupying 320 acres in the Southeast of Newbury and facing increased competition from a number of racecourses, which are undergoing significant development. It needs to improve stakeholders' experience and create a sustainable long term business in an increasingly uncertain and complex industry.

 

CORPRA'S ROLE

Corpra was appointed by the Board to help develop a corporate strategy, planning the infrastructure for the future of the business and manage the release of value from the surplus land for residential development.

 

OUTCOMES

The project is ongoing but as part of the strategy surplus sites have been identified and planning applications are to being submitted ahead of the Local Development Framework process, in collaboration with West Berkshire Council. Additionally, a residential development partner is being selected for a joint venture and a process will begin for selecting an operator to run the proposed hotel for the company. All of these outcomes support the new corporate strategy to optimise the return on existing assets.
