CAPITAL & REGIONAL PLC:
ANNOUNCES THE RETIREMENT OF ANDREW LEWIS-PRATT, AND THE APPOINTMENT OF JOHN
GATLEY TO LEAD THE C&R RETAIL PARKS TEAM
Capital & Regional announces with regret the retirement of Andrew Lewis-Pratt as
an Executive Director, on grounds of ill health.
Andrew, who joined the board in 1997 following Capital & Regional's acquisition
of Lanham, has been responsible for the Group's Retail Parks business where he
leaves behind a strong team with deep knowledge of the business.
John Gatley supported by a specialist team of 26, will now be taking full
responsibility for The Junction reporting to the Group's deputy chief executive,
Xavier Pullen. He has over 13 years experience in the retail warehouse sector,
including on the tenant side, being Group Property Director of Focus Wickes, and
more recently on the landlord side at The Junction. As Managing Director for
the past 21/2 years he has been responsible for the organisational structure,
growth and development of the business.
Tom Chandos, Chairman, said "Capital & Regional's position as one of the leaders
in the retail park business is attributable to Andy's flair and the team he has
built. I would like to extend the Board's warm thanks for his contribution and
best wishes for his future and health."
Martin Barber, Chief Executive, said "We are very sad that Andy is going. We
will miss working with him and enjoying his company at the board table."
