("NewRiver Retail" or the "Company")
Appointment of Director to Board of NewRiver Capital
NewRiver Retail Limited (AIM: NRR), the newly formed specialist commercial property investment and asset management company, today announces the appointment of Nick Sewell to the Board of NewRiver Capital.
NewRiver Capital is the wholly-owned subsidiary and property manager and adviser of NewRiver Retail. Nick will take up his role of Director at NewRiver Capital on 5 October 2009.
Nick joins NewRiver from CB Richard Ellis, the global commercial property and real estate services advisory group, where he was Director in Retail Capital Markets. With more than 14 years of retail commercial property expertise, specialising in High Street, shopping centre and foodstore investments and responsible for acquisitions, sales, consultancy and portfolio reviews, Nick is ideally qualified to join the existing management team, led by David Lockhart.
The appointment reflects the commitment made last month at the time of admission to AIM to recruit high quality personnel to enable the Company to roll out its business development plan.
David Lockhart, Director of NewRiver Retail and CEO of New River Capital, said:
"We are pleased to have made this important appointment to the Board of NewRiver Capital at such an early stage. Nick brings extensive relevant experience which will compliment the existing team and be central to identifying appropriate opportunities and advancing joint venture discussions with other parties."
Nick Sewell said:
"I'm delighted to be joining the NewRiver Capital team to help identify and deliver exciting new business opportunities that are beginning to present themselves in the UK commercial property market."
