A Chartered Director, Fellow of the Institute of Directors and Chartered

experience in strategy, marketing, PR and the regulatory and listed company

ICG-Longbow Senior Secured UK Property Debt Investments Limited, listed on the
Premium Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

 

Fiona's appointment is in line with the Company's succession plans as outlined

"On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to welcome Fiona as our new
non-executive Director as we conclude the Company's eighth year of trading
since IPO. Fiona's breadth of experience across financial markets and listed
investment products adds depth and diversity to the skillsets represented on
the Board."
