NewRiver: Remaining resilient

NewRiver CEO Allan Lockhart has said the business has proved to be “resilient” during a period of “unprecedented disruption”. Announcing its half year results, he said the business had seen a “significant increase in leasing activity, with over half a million square feet of transactions completed, which has led to occupancy in our retail portfolio increasing to more than 96% during the period. This reflects both our affordable rents and focus on essential and convenience retail.
