The property is a modern eight-storey building with 98,254 sqm of space, located in the North East region of Singapore. The aquisition will be partially funded by a debt facility provided by DBS Bank Limited, and partially by the company's own cash reserves.

A statement issued by the business says: "In order to take advantage of the opportunities in Asia, in particular China and India, the company needs to establish a strong regional commercial and operational presence.

"The company is now in a position to invest in an Asian headquarters and believes that Singapore, with its stable political and economic situation, is the ideal location from which to manage its Asian operations."
