intl = The Peel Group is a collection of property and transport companies based in Manchester, England. Also known as "Peel Holdings", its assets are worth more than £4.5bn and include major developments mainly across Northern England and Scotland. The group is split into five divisions:

*The Trafford Centre, a large shopping centre in the United Kingdom and located off the M60 motorway in the Greater Manchester urban area.
*Peel Ports, owners of three major port facilities, Clyde Port Authority, Mersey Docks and Harbour Company and the Manchester Ship Canal.
*Peel Airports, full owner of Liverpool John Lennon Airport, City Airport Manchester, Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield and joint owners of Durham Tees Valley Airport (75%) and Sheffield City Airport (50%).
*Peel Land and Property, owners of a wide portfolio of property in the UK and abroad and provider of infrastructure services. Current planned major developments include Wirral Waters & Liverpool Waters
*Peel Wind Power Ltd, responsible for the management and development of Peel's wind energy assets.
*, a new development at Salford Quays to house some BBC Departments and other media organisations.

The company traces its origins to 1920, when Peel Mills was incorporated as a textile spinning company in Bury, Greater Manchester. The Whittaker family acquired a controlling stake in 1973, which it has retained. The principal business of the company changed from textiles to property in 1977, when the company's redundant textile mills were redeveloped (the British textile industry was in rapid decline in the late 20th century). Since then the company has made regular acquisitions of property and infrastructure assets.
