Edward Ziff, chief executive of Town Centre Securities (TOWN) explains to Lord Lee of Trafford and Alex Newman of how his company approaches getting the right mix of tenants in Leeds for a community-focused shopping centre.

Town Centre Securities (TOWN) is one of the UK market’s oldest names. Founded, managed and largely controlled by the Ziffs of Leeds since its listing in 1960, it is a typical John Lee stock: a cash-generative, dividend-paying, and storied family business with roots in the North.

Another factor explains John’s recent decision to start building a stake in the group. At £1.15p, Town Centre’s share price trades well below half of the company’s net asset value.

In this latest CEO interview, John and IC associate editor Alex Newman speak with Town Centre’s chief executive and chairman, Edward Ziff, about the business’s past and present, and the prospects for closing that enormous valuation gap.
