Katie understands the needs and wants of the community, which is central to our strategy, and we look forward to leveraging her deep and broad expertise as we continue to navigate the changing retail landscape which has seen structural shifts accelerated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic."

Commenting on her appointment, Katie Wadey added: "I am delighted to join such a capable board. It is a very interesting time for the retail sector and I believe that the Company's clearly identified community shopping centre strategy is the right one to both help it through this particularly challenging period and to deliver value in the future."
