Mable Property Operating Group | Freehold Property-Backed Business Investment | UK
Our Investment Approach
Acquire / Improve / Operate / Return
Most acquirers in this space are either passive investors who ignore the business, or trade operators who rent the premises. We do both — and we own the freehold. That position lets us capture value at every layer: real estate, operations, and construction.
​
The Mable Operating Model
A repeatable, value‑driven cycle:
1. Acquire
We source off‑market opportunities through direct vendor outreach, broker relationships, and our fast‑sale funnel.
Target assets include:
-
Freehold pubs
-
Freehold care homes
-
Freehold nurseries
-
Freehold hotels
-
Mixed‑use blocks
-
Industrial units with operating businesses
-
Small development sites with tenants
2. Improve
Operational and physical improvement using our in-house construction capability. We appraise, plan, design, procure, and deliver — cutting both timelines and costs.
-
Appraisal & business case creation
-
Planning & programming expertise
-
Full project delivery: design, procure, construct, exit
-
Renovation, extension, new build services
-
Professional surveying (measured, topo, as‑built)
These capabilities allow us to enhance both the physical asset and the operating business.
3. Operate
We manage each asset directly. No outsourced asset management. This keeps us close to performance, close to refinancing conversations, and close to the problems before they become expensive.
4. Return Capital
Our exit strategies include refinance, sale, or long‑term hold — aligned with investor goals.

Meet the Founder
Shayne Forrester — Founder, Mable Property Operating Group
Shayne is a Chartered Construction Manager (MCIOB) and MBA-qualified property professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience delivering complex projects across construction, infrastructure, and energy.
​
His career spans some of the UK's most demanding programmes: Crossrail (£235M), the London Blackfriars Bridge Station Upgrade (£550M), and the North London Heat and Power Project (£1.2B energy-from-waste programme), where he served as Construction Manager and Planner for Arup. He has delivered across NEC4 contracts with Balfour Beatty, Jacobs, and Sir Robert McAlpine, with expertise in procurement, risk modelling, and programme delivery from concept through to handover.
​
Before founding MPOG, Shayne worked as a Commercial Broker and Development Appraiser, structuring property deals across acquisitions, valuations, refurbishments, and development finance.
​
MPOG is built on that combination. Institutional-grade construction and project management capability, applied directly to the operational property assets most operators lack the in-house expertise to improve. For investors, that means tighter timelines, controlled costs, and a team that has delivered at scale.
