Azeemeh Zaheer on Cardiff Store Close Announcement: "I have spoken to a number of city officials at the City Council as well as the state level and the governments in Wales and Cardiff have been amazing...We are going to figure out a way to fill the gaping hole of these job losses and to create businesses here to employ the people of Cardiff."
Azeemeh Zaheer, chief executive of Naissance Capital Real Estate, which owns the premises, said the company only found out the night before the CVA was announced that it was on the list. “I was shocked,” said Zaheer, who claimed the firm had been amenable to a plan that would have cut the size of the shopfloor from 300,000 sq ft to 80,000 sq ft.
