Hammerson announces major new retail role
Hammerson plc has created a new position of Managing Director UK
and Ireland with responsibility for its GBP6.2billion prime retail
portfolio.
Following the Company's milestone entry into the Irish retail
property market last year, the new role will strengthen its
strategic retail credentials and will assume overall responsibility
for leasing, asset management and operations across the shopping
centre and retail parks portfolio in both the UK and Ireland.
Mark Bourgeois, Executive Director of Capital & Regional plc
has been appointed to the position, he will also sit on Hammerson's
Group Executive Committee.
With over 20 years of experience in the retail property sector,
Mark managed Capital & Regional's substantial retail portfolio
with responsibility for repositioning high profile retail and
leisure destinations across the UK. He is currently president of
Revo (formerly British Council of Shopping Centres) and Mark's
longstanding retailer relationships, strategic knowledge of the
industry and board level experience were key to his
appointment.
As part of the change in structure to the senior team, Martin
Plocica, currently Director of UK and Ireland Shopping Centres,
will step back from the business on a day to day basis. Martin
joined Hammerson in 2011 and has played a key role in establishing
Hammerson as a leading retail REIT. In the months ahead he will be
supporting the business in transitioning to the new structure
before leaving the Company in 2017.
David Atkins, CEO of Hammerson said: "The ever increasing pace
of structural change in retail has led us to revaluate how we
operate as a business and how we drive forward the various
divisions. This role brings a new level of expertise and skills and
is in line with our ambition to deliver the best European retail
locations for our retailers and consumers."
"I would like to personally thank Martin for his commitment to
the business and in his time at Hammerson, he has made a
significant contribution to the way we operate our shopping centre
portfolio and we wish him well for the future."
Note: the announcement above has also been released on the SENS
system of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
