It is our great pleasure to announce that Denise Whitfield has joined our Business Development team, effective March 3, 2008. Denise will be based in Atlanta and will be reporting to the Executive Vice President, Business Development.

Denise is a veteran of the airport concessions industry, having worked for several years at WH Smith and more recently with Hartsfield Air Ventures, LLC at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International. In addition to her vast experience in our field of business, Denise brings to HDS Retail a passion for retail and a great ability to develop win-win relationships with airport landlords, DBE partners and sub-tenants.

With recent contract awards to HDS at LaGuardia, Detroit Metropolitan International and John F. Kennedy International Airports, we are confident that the addition of an individual of Denise's caliber will reinforce HDS Retail's goal to pursue aggressive growth in North American travel retail venues.
