History

The company was established by Allan Lockhart and David Lockhart as a property company focusing on the retail sector under the name NewRiver Retail in September 2008.[3][4] The company was the subject of an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in September 2009.[5]

In 2009 Mark Davies,[6][7] the then-husband (divorced in 2017) of the Conservative MP Mims Davies joined the company as finance director.[8] The company have since donated to her "local party organisation or indirectly via a central party organisation"[9]

The company acquired 202 pubs from Marston's for £90 million in December 2013[10] and 158 pubs from Punch Taverns for £53.5 million in August 2015.[11] The company altered its structure and changed its name to NewRiver REIT in July 2016.[12]

In February 2018, David Lockhart stepped down as CEO and was replaced by Allan Lockhart. David Lockhart became Executive Deputy Chairman.[13]

Operations

The company owns numerous shopping centres (geographically north to south):[14]

Sovereign Shopping Centre, Boscombe
gollark: Because.
gollark: Your introduction would be easier to read if I didn't have to spend nonzero amounts of brain on error correction. In any case, you clearly don't have that much power if it's significant for you. It is also underspecified and somewhat incoherent, so fix that.
gollark: Surely your ultimate cosmic powers should at least extend to spelling power correctly. I mean, I can do that, and I'm not a god at least 83% of the time.
gollark: Greetings, "le bunker de corona" members. I am gollark, otherwise known as osmarks, a human. As someone who is totally a human, I exist, and do human things such as (not limited to): consuming food; consuming water; sleeping; not sleeping; sitting in chairs; motion; social interaction; thought.I enjoy things such as authorship of highly accursed code in a wide range of programming languages, computational gaming, reading scifi/fantasy, and sometimes (when I am not horribly distracted) reading about various maths topics.If you are reading this, it is already too late.Feel free to DM me iff Riemann hypothesis!I have harvested some insightful quotes:“You know what they say, speak softly but carry a tungsten slug accelerated to a measurable fraction of C.” “I mean, we could use it to destroy the Universe, but we'd have to add a lot of antimatter. Which pretty much goes for all other matter.”“The laws of Australia prevail in Australia, I can assure you of that. The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia.”"World domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer to call it world optimisation."“The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.”“Eventually all the people who hate this kind of thing are going to be dead, and the ones who use it are going to be in control.” - a linguist“All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection.” “Ignorance of insecurity does not get you security.” “I don't always believe in things, but when I do, I believe in them alphabetically.” “If you're trying to stop me, I outnumber you 1 to 6.”
gollark: Does it? I thought you only needed to look after and before a bit up to a digit which would require carrying. Or something like that.
