Commenting on the announcement, chairman Stephen Hubbard said: 'We are delighted to have successfully completed this £175 million capital raising and for the continued strong support received from existing shareholders and new investors. The proceeds raised will enable the company to fund in short order its significant identified pipeline of specific acquisition opportunities, many of which are off-market.'
