The Board has high regard for Ian's insight and expertise, and he will continue to serve a valuable role for CREI in his capacity as chair of Custodian Capital. “Nathan also played a key role in establishing the Company and will bring a valuable perspective to the Board prior to its transition to being fully independent by the end of 2025.” Ian Mattioli MBE DL, founding director of the Company, commented: “Back in 1999, I was instrumental in creating Mattioli Woods’ property syndicate initiative, which became the seed portfolio for the Company as we know it today. It has been an honour to serve as a founding director, contributing to the Company’s vision and strategic direction. Whilst I will no longer be involved as a director, I remain a major shareholder, with my family currently owning 6.4 million shares, which we intend to hold long-term as a transparent investment in quality property assets that produces sustainable income. It continues to be our family’s intention to grow our existing shareholding from time to time when funds allow.
