Urbium has appointed Simon Williets as development director, where he will focus on the group’s Tiger Tiger brand. Williets formerly held a number of acquisition roles with both Bass Leisure Retail and Scottish & Newcastle Retail. Robert Cohen, Urbium’s managing director, said: "I am pleased to welcome Simon to Urbium, where his acquisition experience will be of great benefit to the Group as we continue our expansion programme. In particular, he will be seeking new opportunities in provincial towns and cities for our flagship brand Tiger Tiger, together with smaller non-branded sites in and around London."
