Pelican Group, doing great business in Publishing, E-Commerce, Motorsport & Property
Pelican was created in 1992, starting with Pelican Investments, the residential property company. But the company quickly began to expand, and today we have branched into many enterprises.
In 1996 Pelican Marketing was set up, starting with shoe-retail and recently stretching over to quality used cars. We have a few funny stories about that company. It is not true that Jonny Hooker used to work for us, but the story about the shoes on the motorway is true.
By 1998 Pelican Magazines was established, as Pelican branched into the glossy world of publishing. Orthopaedic Product News was the first title produced, and its success lead to the launch of another three medical titles: SSN, JAP and OGMN. Along with these, Pelican began producing Circuit Guides for the UK and Europe, catering for motoring enthusiasts.
Pelican Holdings was born in 2000, when the company moved into commercial property and property development.
Our group strategy has always been to balance low-reward, low-risk investments with higher-reward, higher-risk potentials to create a blend that will generate acceptable long-term returns in most economic conditions.
