Pat Cox joins Tiger
Developments December 4, 2007
 The
former European Parliament president Pat Cox has joined
Tiger Developments’ European business as a director to
support the next phase of the firm’s expansion
Pat Cox and Michael O FlynnTiger Developments, London, part
of the privately owned O'Flynn group, has built up a
significant German portfolio to complement its UK holdings,
and has recently opened an office in Riga, Latvia with a
joint venture partner to support its investments in a number
of projects in the Baltic States. Mr Cox’s work will focus
on development and investment opportunities across Europe
and neighbouring markets, as well as further afield.
Michael O’Flynn, chairman of Tiger Developments’ parent
company O’Flynn Group, comments: “In his role as president
of the European Parliament, Pat was an active campaigner for
the successful enlargement of the European Union and he
understands the economies and politics of Europe and its
neighbours from the grass roots up.
“He is a terrific addition to the team and his insight,
diplomacy and unmatched international profile will be of
great benefit to Tiger Developments as it continues its
European expansion plans.”
Pat Cox adds: “For some time I have admired the successful
model that Tiger has used to expand and am delighted to join
their European team. I look forward to working with Tiger
and O’Flynn Group and building on the already considerable
success of this great Irish firm.”
Mr Cox will spend a significant proportion of his time
working on Tiger’s European expansion, supported by
resources from his own firm. In addition to his role as
president of the European Movement International and other
pro bono work, he holds a number of non-executive
directorships and advisory positions with multinational
companies including Michelin, Microsoft and Pfizer.
Tiger Developments was formed in 1999 as a joint venture
between O'Flynn Construction and Goodbody Stockbrokers to
pursue property investment and developments across the UK
and Ireland. Initially Tiger's activity in the UK property
market was focused on development but more recently it has
become very active in the investment market and has recently
started to put together a portfolio of German investment
assets.
In 2006 O'Flynn Construction completed the purchase of the
outstanding equity in Tiger, which was owned by private
clients of Goodbodys. This ultimately led to the decision to
merge these three highly successful companies to become The
O'Flynn Group. |
