Retailers

We are privileged to work with a variety of world-class retail and leisure operators and we value our retailers as core partners. We pro-actively engage at all levels to understand your business and help you drive sales. 

Retail is a highly exciting, vibrant and dynamic sector pivotal to the UK economy. We manage our assets as operating platforms as though we ourselves are retailers, working closely with our retailers at a national and local level to drive footfall, dwell time and spend. 

Our 'Day in the Life of' Initiative 

The  initiative began in 2016 when our Property Director, Allan Lockhart, was invited to shadow a centre manager for the day. The team set off for Paisley, Scotland for a day of retailing experience and the learnings from the experience were so impactful and valuable, that NewRiver has committed to making it an annual programme. This helps ensure NewRiver team members retain a solid understanding of operations and genuine insights from retailers and centres across the regions.

“When we stop learning, we stop improving and I know the team gain real insight each year from the Day in the Life of programme. It’s so important in our sector to get under the skin of our shopping centres to ensure they run as effectively as possible.''
