About from company website

The Santon Group has a three-decade history as a property investment and development group, originally known as The Raven Group. More recently, it has expanded its activities into private equity and venture capital investment, backing innovative industrial companies and investing in various listed and unlisted companies. The Group's expertise lies in the origination, planning, development, and management of both residential and commercial properties, employing an opportunistic and value-enhancement approach.

They have a strong track record of joint venturing with various partners, including FTSE 100 companies, major banks, and property developers, to offset risk, leverage reward, and enhance opportunities. With a history of undertaking over £1 billion of developments, including significant retail and warehouse developments, The Santon Group has demonstrated resilience through property recessions. They have also expanded into providing mezzanine finance for property and other sectors.

The group has received numerous awards for its excellence in property development, including accolades for luxury development, regeneration, and conservation.
