Kingfisher boosts property-backed funding partnership by £225m


Kingfisher has extended the asset-backed funding partnership with its pension scheme with the addition of two UK properties worth £119m.

An investment of £106m was also made by the scheme into the Kingfisher Scottish Limited Partnership, following a group contribution of the same amount into the scheme.

The retailer - owner of brands including B&Q and Screwfix - announced in its interim results, published today, that it had now contributed properties with a value of £184m to the partnership, which were leased back to the company.
