What we do
Our energy businesses
Our renewable energy businesses
By owning and operating a range of energy-generating assets, we are helping the UK meet its target for renewable energy production.
We own more than 200 renewable energy sites, ranging from commercial scale solar installations, windfarms, biomass plants and landfill gas sites. Sites are either acquired when they are operational or when they are ‘shovel ready’, meaning they have been granted planning permission and construction can begin. Fern earns revenues from the sale of energy direct to end users or via intermediaries. Sites will also generate revenues from government incentives where they have qualified for them.
Our housebuilding businesses
We own a housebuilder called Elivia Homes. It creates family homes in areas of south east England with high housing demand. We also own Rangeford Villages, which specialises in creating high quality residential environments for people aged over 60. It builds contemporary retirement communities in which people can live in attractive surroundings with a wide range of amenities and leisure activities on their doorstep.
Our fibre businesses
Fibre has been held in the portfolio since 2019. Currently the portfolio is focused on Enterprise Fibre which provides dedicated, business-grade internet connections to organisations that need fast, reliable and secure connectivity. Unlike home broadband, these services are designed for businesses that rely on large amounts of data, cloud applications and continuous connectivity.
Our property lending businesses
We lend directly to experienced property professionals and receives all of revenues generated from each of its loans, including arrangement fees, interest and early repayment fees.
