At the start of the year, we worked with Cribbs on a press release announcing the appointment of Andy Jackson as the retail destination’s new centre director.
Andy arrived with a proven track record in the shopping centre and retail environment having previously held centre manager roles at Westquay in Southampton, Mailbox in Birmingham, Centre:MK, and The Gracechurch Centre in Sutton Coldfield.
At Cribbs, Andy joins Leon Morse and Lizzie Taylor as part of the site leadership team at Cribbs, and will be responsible for Cribbs Mall, Cribbs Venue leisure park, and Cribbs Retail Park which are owned by M&G Real Estate, and asset managed by Sovereign Centros from CBRE.
Andy’s role also includes being an ambassador for Cribbs and working alongside key stakeholders to promote investment into the Western Innovation Arc. The group, set up by The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA) and South Gloucestershire Council, supported by a team of placemaking, transport and economic consultants, is looking at opportunities to enhance growth in the East of South Gloucestershire, which is already home to major employers including Airbus, BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, Ministry of Defence, Royal Mail and the University of the West of England.
Alongside securing press coverage across local media as well as retail and real estate trade press, we worked with South West Business Insider and Retail Destination on two profile pieces looking at how Andy is building connection with local stakeholders to promote Cribbs as the South West’s leading day out destination.
