Developer makes high-profile appointment for newly formed role
Property developer Hammerson has created a new managerial role to take over responsibility for its 拢6.2bn prime retail portfolio.
Mark Bourgeois, executive director of property investor Capital & Regional, has been appointed to the position. He will also sit on Hammerson鈥檚 group executive committee.
Following the firm鈥檚 entry into the Irish retail property market last year, Hammerson said the new role will 鈥渟trengthen its strategic retail credentials鈥�.
Bourgeois will assume overall responsibility for leasing, asset management and operations across Hammerson鈥檚 shopping centre and retail parks portfolio in the UK and Ireland.
As part of the change in structure to its management team, Martin Plocica, currently director of UK and Ireland shopping centres, will step back from the business on a day to day basis and leave next year.
David Atkins, CEO of Hammerson, said: 鈥淭he 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.鈥�
He added that the recently created role brings a 鈥渘ew level of expertise and skills鈥� and is in line with the company鈥檚 ambitions.
