St. Modwen 30 Years : A Generation of Regeneration 1 | Page 16

ST. MODWEN | A GENERATION OF REGENERATION | IT’S A FACT

It’s a fact

The sometimes strange
but often compelling
world of St. Modwen...

We’re especially proud of our brewing and Burton heritage
from which we derive our name and identity:

16

Originating from Burton upon
Trent, St. Modwenna was the
patron saint of wells

The first properties acquired by
St. Modwen were over 1m sq ft
of former brewery buildings
in Burton

The legend says that upon her death
St. Modwenna’s soul was taken to
heaven by silver swans – and so the
symbol of the swan for Burton upon
Trent was born, giving St. Modwen
its saintly name and emblem

30 years on, the Company has
worked with a local Burton brewery
to create its own St. Modwen bitter
“Gateway Gold”

In 30 years St. Modwen has:

Cleaned up over 10,000
acres of brownfield land

Delivered over 30m sq ft
of industrial and office space

Developed 35,000 homes
creating hundreds of new
communities across the UK

Created over 270,000 new jobs

Delivered 16m sq ft
of retail and leisure space
