Shopping centre giant has confirmed the appointment of finance director Matthew Roberts as its next chief executive, as Property Week predicted yesterday.

Roberts is expected to be charged with a sell-off of some of the group’s underperforming malls at the struggling retail property group, which owns eight of the UK’s top 20 centres.  His plans will include a strategy to reduce Intu’s debt to assets ratio to below 50% through disposals, part-disposals and introducing partners to assets.  Since he joined the group it has sold more £1bn of assets.
