Harworth Group plc, a leading regenerator of land and property for development and investment, announces that it has appointed Tom Loughran as Head of Investor and Stakeholder Relations.
Working closely with Chief Executive Lynda Shillaw and CFO Kitty Patmore, Tom will oversee Harworth’s investor relations and financial calendar programme, including the preparation of results materials, alongside managing relationships with key stakeholders including sell side analysts, advisers, Local Government and the Group’s widening institutional and retail investor base. Tom will also play a key role in shaping the Group’s ESG agenda, in terms of both strategy and market engagement.
Tom is a Chartered Accountant and joins Harworth from NewRiver REIT plc, the specialist owner and manager of retail and leisure assets, where he spent three years, latterly as Head of Investor Relations. Prior to this, he spent seven years at KMPG, where he was part of its Makinson Cowell consultancy business, advising FTSE 100 and 250 clients on their institutional investor engagement, equity market activity and stakeholder communications.
Harworth has enjoyed a strong start to 2021 across both its income and land activities. Highlights include the £12.7m acquisition of Towngate Business Park in Widnes, Cheshire as part of its strategy to actively manage its income portfolio and the submission of a planning application for 2.9 million sq ft of employment space in Thorne, Doncaster.
