Retail specialist Neinver has appointed a leasing manager for France as it prepares to open its second retail centre in the country.
Thomas Delannée arrives from IKKS, where he oversaw the expansion of the fashion retailer's network of outlets. He will report to Régine Bogner, Neinver's international leasing director.
Delannée will be responsible for leasing Alpes The Style Outlets, a complex of more than 90 shops close to the Swiss border between Lyon and Geneva which is scheduled to open in 2020. He will also continue leasing Roppenheim The Style Outlets, near the German border, where tenants include Galeries Lafayette, IKKS, Karl Lagerfeld and Samsonite.
He said: 'One of my key priorities will be the opening of the future centre in the French Alps, which I am convinced has all the ingredients to be a benchmark destination for both guests and brands, including its prime location in the heart of the mountains.'
