About Us

Mill Group is a fund management company with particular expertise in property and finance. Established 15 years ago by Chief Executive David Toplas, the group has driven a number of firsts in the UK property investment market.

From an early focus on the management of residential investment properties, Mill Group moved to provide pioneering accommodation for community facilities through the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and Public Private Partnerships (PPP).

Mill Group has delivered over 20 PFI schemes in housing, health, education and cultural facilities in partnership with local authorities. Since 2002 these projects have been delivered through the Investors in the Community Programme, established by Mill Group.

Many of the schemes are award winning – in recognition of their contribution to local communities and their innovative approach. Over 20 awards have been received to date, including the Prime Minister's Best Public Building Award for the Jubilee Library in Brighton, and Most Innovative Funder in the Public Private Finance Awards 2006.

Drawing on its financial expertise and insight, Mill Group drove the introduction of direct institutional investment into the PFI accommodation sector: through the establishment of a number of long-term investment funds with Norwich Union (the £220m NUPPP Fund), and other institutional and retail investors. Mill continues to provide long-term asset management services to these funds.

Mill Group's PFI procurement activities and SPV management operations were sold – as Investors in the Community Group - to Land Securities Trillium, a subsidiary of Land Securities Group, in 2007.
