The Strickland Foundation has kicked back at claims by Mabel Strickland’s heir Robert Hornyold-Strickland, in a spat over Allied Newspaper’s appointment of Adrian Hillman as managing director in 2012.
Hornyold-Strickland, a 13% shareholder on Allied, has accused Nationalist MP Mario de Marco of being the key player in the Strickland Foundation, which controls 78% of Allied, and driving the appointment of close friend Adrian Hillman to become managing director in 2012.
