Our journey

1990s

Burnt Tree Properties Ltd (now Vulcan Properties) was set up to bring all the sites under one company. Most of them were the original Burnt Tree rental locations.

2004

Burnt Tree Properties Ltd (now Vulcan Properties) was set up to bring all the sites under one company. Most of them were the original Burnt Tree rental locations.

2014

When Burnt Tree Vehicle Rental was sold, the family kept many of the sites. These became the core of the property business and gave the company the base it needed to grow and take on new projects.

2019

A change in share ownership meant the Thomas family took full ownership of the company. George Thomas joined as a Director and the focus shifted properly towards hands-on asset management, redevelopment, and repositioning.

Today

Vulcan operates as a lean, agile property company with a growing portfolio across the UK, acting quickly to identify and unlock value in every opportunity.
