The chief executive of Intu Properties has complained of the “disruption” from two failed takeover attempts of the shopping centre owner, which he said added to a range of problems during the past year.

David Fischel made the comments as the FTSE 250 company published its results for the year to December 31. Intu made a loss of £1.17bn during that period, compared with profits of £203.3m in 2017.
