1/1/07: I have removed the POV-check and Mergeto|Slough Trading Estate|date=September 2006 from this article: I think it's been cleaned up enough to have NPOV and is sufficiently differentiated from the Slough Trading Estate article Grblundell 11:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Still a plc

edit

Why does the entry say that Slough Estates was formerly a plc? It is still a plc but it has become recognised as a REIT by HMRC for tax purposes.

It is still shown as a plc. Dormskirk (talk) 13:51, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

This is not the current and most recognisable company logo. The use of the Slough Estates Group element of the old logo could cause confusion. Current logo as evidenced on SEGRO website: https://www.segro.com/ Alex.wodzicki (talk) 13:30, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

It looks similar enough to me. Dormskirk (talk) 13:55, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

This seems to be a branding issue and some companies seem to change their branding on a regular basis. I am inclined to leave alone per MOS:ALLCAPS but would be OK if other editors feel strongly about it. Dormskirk (talk) 11:33, 3 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
