DELIN CAPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT SECURES €32 MILLION FINANCING FOR ITS WADDINXVEEN DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSE
Located in the established strategic location of
Distripark A12, in the municipality of Waddinxveen, the 44,142 sq m
warehouse benefits from its proximity to Rotterdam, Europe’s largest
port. It is let in its entirety to Van Uden Group,
which uses it to satisfy multiple food and beverage contracts for its
clients, which include Nestle. The asset was originally acquired in 2015
on behalf of DCAM’s Capital Preservation Portfolio (‘CPP I’ or the
‘Fund’), the Company’s inaugural core plus logistics
fund.
Following this transaction, DCAM has now completed
the financing of all of its €500 million CPP I assets which comprises 16
properties in total located in the main transport hubs and corridors of
the UK, Benelux and the Netherlands. Proceeds
of the loan are expected to finance future investment acquisitions and
DCAM’s growing development pipeline.
Ekaterina Avdonina, Managing Director of DCAM commented:
“Having successfully completed the financing of our
investment portfolio, we now look forward to recycling this capital
into new transactions and developments that will continue to deliver a
strong total return to our investors.
“The logistics market remains extremely compelling
and DCAM will continue to focus exclusively on this asset class,
investing in areas which are set to benefit from the increasing growth
in e-commerce and Europe’s logistics supply chain.”
Arie Hubers, Head of ING Wholesale Banking Real Estate Finance, CC NL:
‘We are pleased that we can expand our relationship with Delin by this facility and support the
company in its growth going forward. The transaction fits within ING’s strategy to maintain
longstanding relationships with leading asset managers of logistic assets and grow our exposure
to the sector.”
Disposal of Thurrock Shopping Park, Essex
Hammerson
plc (“Hammerson”) has exchanged contracts and completed the sale of
Thurrock Shopping Park, Essex, to TH Real Estate for £93
million.
The park comprises two retail schemes with net internal area of 25,500m2 and is situated next to junction 31 of the M25. Tenants include M&S, Gap, Pets at Home, Decathlon, Boots, Evans Cycles and Dunelm. Hammerson purchased the property for £64 million in 2012 as part of the Junction Fund Portfolio. Since then we have deployed £3 million of capital expenditure to redevelop the cinema site into three new retail units, upgraded the tenant line-up to a more fashion-led retail mix, including securing the UK’s first Nike Outlet on a retail park and achieved planning consent on the development site.
The
ownership of a 26 acre site is being retained for development by
Hammerson with planning consent for 320 residential units over 18
acres and 7,600m2 of retail and leisure.
The sale price represents a net initial yield of 5.3% and is moderately below the book value as at 31 December 2015.
David Atkins commented:
“I
am pleased to announce a further step in our £300m disposal programme
which highlights our continued focus on rotating Hammerson’s retail
platform towards our higher growth assets. Thurrock has shown excellent
returns during our ownership and this transaction provides a good
opportunity to crystallise a £26m profit on cost with further upside
expected from the retained development opportunity.”

DIA aclara las informaciones aparecidas en El Economista sobre la calidad y el precio de su aceite
-
DIA
niega rotundamente las acusaciones de manipulación de la calidad de su
aceite. Afirmaciones tan graves e irresponsables deben
realizarse con pruebas. En este sentido, la compañía mantiene procesos
constantes de análisis de la calidad de todos los productos que
comercializa y el aceite, por supuesto, no es una excepción. Todos los
test realizados al aceite comercializado reflejan
la calidad del mismo.
-
DIA
no está realizando venta a pérdidas respetando siempre la legislación
vigente. Conviene recordar que la venta a pérdida es la
diferencia entre el precio en factura y el precio final de venta al
público.
-
La
campaña promocional de aceite, puesta en marcha para los días 9 al 21
de junio y que se lleva preparándose durante meses, tiene
como objetivo ofrecer siempre a los clientes la mejor calidad al mejor
precio.

Unfair Trading Practices legislation will not fix the agriculture crisis
- Experts and widely published data show that the current milk and livestock crisis is structural and comes from farmers increasing production (in some member states more than 20% more compared with 2015) at a time of collapsing prices and low demand;
- Retailers have only limited influence in markets where they have very few direct relationships with farmers. In the case of liquid milk or fresh meat, only a small proportion of production (less than 20%) ends up in retail, with the rest going into manufacturing and catering;
- UTPs are being addressed through national legislation and the Supply Chain Initiative, which was agreed with farmers, who subsequently declined to sign up to it; today over 1200 companies including a critical mass of retailers have joined the initiative.
In order to meet ever-changing consumer demand, retailers need and support a farming sector which is:
- better organised: the countries least affected by the crisis are also countries where farming is better organised – e.g. through cooperatives or producer organisations;
- more responsive to consumer demand: today in certain countries affected by the crisis, demand for organic milk or pigmeat is not being met by farmers domestically and the organic products have to be imported;
- more responsive to market signals: by maintaining high production levels, producers are only serving to drive the market price down further; this has to stop. Retailers are keen to share market information with farmers to help them plan, and to encourage them to add value on the farm to meet increased demand for locally-sourced or artisanal products.
In these circumstances, we ask policy makers:
- to maintain a market-oriented CAP that respects the single market and open competition, and supports producers in adjusting to market signals;
- to reduce the unnecessary administrative and financial burdens which add to farmers’ production costs;
- to encourage a structured supply chain dialogue among sectors, including manufacturing, e.g. through interbranch organisations, to better anticipate consumer needs;
- not to forget that markets are about the needs of consumers, many of whom are still struggling to make ends meet since the economic crisis.
Retailers are an easy target, but the wrong one in seeking a scapegoat for a crisis which is internal to the agricultural market; reducing the level of competition or adding further regulatory burdens at any stage of the supply chain will only come to the expense of consumers through higher prices, less choice and less innovation.

ITALIA, PRIMA NAZIONE IN TERMI DI FATTURATO ALL'INTERNO DI EURONICS INTERNATIONAL
Durante l'Assemblea annuale di Euronics International,sono stati confermati Hans Carpels nel ruolo di Presidente e il Senatore Paolo Galimberti come Vice Presidente
Durante
l'Assemblea è stato eletto il Board, che rimarrà in carica fino al
2019. Riconfermati all'unanimità Hans Carpels come Presidente,
nomina che ricopre dal 2010, e il Senatore Paolo Galimberti come Vice
Presidente.
L'Italia,
oltre a rappresentare una nazione di riferimento all'interno di
Euronics International in qualità di Paese fondatore, nel 2015 ha
raggiunto anche il primo posto in termini di fatturato, ulteriore
conferma della validità di un modello vincente sia a livello locale
che su scala internazionale, e anche nel 2016 sta mantenendo questo
primato.
“Sono
orgoglioso di questa nomina” commenta il Senatore Paolo Galimberti
“che mi consente di rappresentare in Europa l'eccellenza del nostro
Paese, di condividere modalità di approccio ed esperienze,
apportando il nostro contributo da nazione protagonista; negli ultimi
anni infatti la credibilità dell'Italia è cresciuta notevolmente e
ora rappresenta per molti un esempio virtuoso da prendere come
modello”
TURISMO: APPROVATO IL PROGETTO DI FUSIONE TRA ROBINTUR E NUOVA PLANETARIO
- La nuova società controllata da Coop Alleanza 3.0 opererà dal 1° gennaio 2017con 90 agenzie su tutto il territorio nazionale.
- A guidarla saranno il presidente Angelo Lepori e il direttore generale Claudio Passuti
I
Consigli di amministrazione di Robintur e di Nuova Planetario hanno
dato il via al progetto di unificazione tra le due società che operano
nel settore turistico. La fusione per incorporazione
in Robintur – prevista per il 1° gennaio 2017 – darà vita a un
protagonista assoluto nel panorama italiano, con 90 agenzie di proprietà
su quasi tutto il territorio nazionale e un fatturato di oltre 230
milioni di euro, che supera i 500 milioni se si considera
anche l’apporto degli oltre 200 affiliati.
A
controllare la società sarà Coop Alleanza 3.0, la più grande
cooperativa di consumatori in Italia, nata a sua volta dalla fusione
(avvenuta il 1° gennaio di quest’anno) di Coop Adriatica,
Coop Consumatori Nordest e Coop Estense, che detenevano quote di
Robintur e Nuova Planetario.
La
fusione tra Robintur e Nuova Planetario consentirà di operare nel
mercato turistico – promuovendo e gestendo anche attività di business
travel – con ancora maggiore efficacia ed
efficienza, grazie a sinergie ed economie di scala. L’obiettivo è
offrire prodotti e soluzioni di qualità a prezzi sostenibili a tutti i
clienti, e riservare vantaggi dedicati ai soci Coop.
A
guidare la società sarà una struttura guidata da un presidente e un
direttore generale. Presidente sarà Angelo Lepori (presidente di Nuova
Planetario), che avrà compiti di rappresentatività,
indirizzo e controllo; direttore generale sarà invece Claudio Passuti
(ex vicepresidente di Robintur e presidente di Egocentro e Robintur
Travel Partner), con responsabilità della gestione aziendale. Il
direttore generale sarà coadiuvato da Tina Giglio, direttore
Rete, Personale e Organizzazione, e da Andrea Cocchi, direttore
Amministrazione, Controllo e Sistemi. Ad affiancare Passuti sarà, nei
primi mesi, anche l’ex presidente e direttore generale di Robintur Marco
Ricchetti, che collaborerà alla costruzione del Piano
strategico e del Progetto di unificazione.
La
società potrà contare sui buoni risultati e sull’esperienza maturata
negli anni da entrambe le realtà, nonostante le difficoltà registrate
negli ultimi anni dal settore turistico,
sia per il perdurare della crisi economica sia, più di recente, per i
gravi attentati terroristici che hanno fortemente rallentato le vendite.
Walmart Announces Senior Management Changes in International Business
Bentonville,
Ark., Jun. 13, 2016 – Today, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE: WMT) today announced a series of
leadership moves in its International division.
Andy Clarke, President and Chief
Executive Officer at Asda, has decided the timing is right to step aside from
his role with the company. Over more than 20 years with Asda, and the last six
as CEO, Andy has been a key contributor to Walmart’s success in the U.K., one
of the world’s most competitive retail markets. Andy and his leadership team
have played a key role in several innovations in the marketplace, such as
grocery home delivery and pickup. He has also served as a strong leader for the
business during a time of increased competition and heightened customer expectations.
Andy will remain with the business until the end of July, at which point he will
serve as an advisor for the remainder of 2016. He will also retain his current role as
Asda’s representative in certain functions, namely as president of the IGD, a
research and training charity which provides information and best practice to
the global food and grocery industry.
With Andy’s departure Sean Clarke will return to the U.K. and Asda, as President and
Chief Executive Officer, effective July 11. Most recently, Sean served in the
same role with Walmart China, distinguishing himself by leading growth in a
critical market. Sean is one of Walmart’s most experienced executives, with a
Walmart career that includes extensive experience abroad including Walmart
Japan, Walmart Canada and starting his retail career in the UK at Asda back in
2001. Sean’s leadership will allow Asda to build upon the momentum of Project
Renewal and reposition the business in a very competitive market place.
Walmart also confirmed that Roger Burnley will be named deputy CEO of Asda when he rejoins the
business in October 2016. Roger will be a strong support to Sean Clarke having
held a variety of senior leadership positions across commercial and operational
functions of UK retail businesses. He worked at Asda between 1996 and 2002 and was
part of the core team responsible for integrating Asda into Walmart following
its acquisition in 1999.
With this move Dirk Van De Berghe,
currently President and Chief Executive Officer, Walmart Canada will take over
leadership of the Walmart China business, effective August 22 pending work
authorization. In addition, Dirk will also serve as Regional President for our
Asia business, including Walmart Japan. At Walmart Canada, Dirk’s depth of
experience allowed Walmart to strengthen its growing food business in the
market and complement a highly-successful general merchandise operation.
Walmart will announce a new leader for Walmart Canada shortly.
This move will allow Scott Price, currently President and Chief Executive Officer –
Walmart Asia to focus exclusively on his additional role as Chief
Administrative Officer – Walmart International.
David Cheesewright, president and CEO of Walmart
International, said, “Actively managing our global business portfolio is a key
element of our international strategy, and we must have the right talent in
place to lead our businesses through times of change.
“Sean is one of our most experienced global
executives, and through his leadership we will build upon the momentum of
Project Renewal to reposition Asda in a very competitive market place. I’m also excited about Roger coming back to
Asda, as we view him as a top talent and a future CEO.
“Together with the existing Asda executive team,
Sean and Roger will serve as an incredibly powerful team to lead our Asda
business. Their complementary skills and combined expertise in the U.K. retail
market and globally brings an unrivaled breadth of retail knowledge to Asda.”
Cheesewright continued, “Dirk is well positioned to
lead the China and Japan businesses due to his prior roles in Asia and his deep
knowledge of the retail business from his time in Europe.”
He also noted that Walmart has a strong track
record of growing global retail leaders. “Global talent is one of our best
assets - and our commitment to creating opportunities for diverse experiences
is why we have some of the best retail leaders in the world.”
Sean Clarke commented on the news: “Rejoining Asda at such a critical
point in the development of the UK retail market is both a challenge and a
privilege. After spending the last 15 years in Walmart’s global retail markets,
I’m looking forward to returning to the business that got me hooked on grocery
retail.”
Roger Burnley added: “Asda is a business I know
well, and one I’m excited to rejoin at a critical time in its history. I’ve
always admired Asda’s passionate colleagues, relentless focus on the customer
and its ability to reposition itself in a crowded marketplace. Being part of
the world’s largest retailer also presents a huge personal opportunity to work
alongside world-class talent, including Sean. I’m looking forward to getting
started.”
Walmart International posted strong financial sales
performance at its Q1 FY17 earnings update. 10 of Walmart’s International 11
markets posted positive year-on-year sales results, with 9 of those markets
growing comp sales by more than 4 percent on a constant currency basis.
