"Speaking to CoStar News, chief executive David Atkins said Hammerson had for some time been reducing its exposure to offices, as part of a strategic belief that the company needed to be specifically focused on one sector to run 'more effectively and efficiently'.

"... [There was] a clear decision to reinvest capital in becoming 'dominant' in retail, by creating a fully multi-channel offering over the next five years:
"This means there are no distractions, as we invest in scaling up and delivering best practice and innovation."



"David Atkins, chief executive of Hammerson, said:
"... We have maximised our asset management opportunities and this disposal crystallises a substantial profit on cost, further enhancing our financial flexibility to undertake refurbishment, development and acquisition opportunities within our retail portfolio.''

Or he could just speak like this.]
