It’s a fundamental shift driven by how and why people engage with town centres. GCW is passionate about understanding this change and how we can add value to our clients' assets, be they occupier, owner or stakeholder. Retail will always sit at the core of what we do, yet the regeneration of our town centres requires a far more vibrant mix of uses than ever before.
We’ve invested time in understanding that wider market. We put people at the forefront of our thinking, examining their needs and understanding their reasons to visit a location. Identifying how to satisfy this need is central to the advice we provide to all our clients.
Leasing and acquiring space are a crucial part of our role, but our clients also respect us for our in-depth knowledge. Early engagement enables us to take a holistic overview and identify a strategy that’s appropriate to the specific needs of the project and client. We’re good listeners, but we're not afraid to challenge conventions. We bring this broader expertise to every project.
Nobody knows everything. We encourage collaboration and free-thinking from all areas of our business.
We don’t operate in silos. Our team work on a wide variety of projects and are encouraged to share their experiences with the whole business.
The end-users of property are always at the forefront of our thinking. Understanding how and why they engage is central to the advice we provide.
It’s rarely about a single solution to one problem. Taking a broader look at the bigger picture results in better outcomes for our clients.
Without actually seeing places and clients, advice is worthless. We form real market knowledge from seeing it first-hand and sharing those experiences with the team.
