Overview
Abbey plc develops residential properties -- mainly single-family homes and apartments -- in the UK, Ireland, and the Czech Republic. Its homebuilding division sells more than 450 homes annually, with an average selling price in the neighborhood of €184,000 ($225,000). Abbey experienced fewer home sales at lower prices during the economic recession. Homebuilding in Prague also was delayed due to economic conditions. The company's M&J Engineering subsidiary manages and leases industrial plants and equipment. Chairman Charles Gallagher, through Gallagher Holdings, controls about 41% of Abbey. He also manages a family-owned company operating in the same sector, Matthew Homes.
