General Information

Our consultancy work generally falls into two linked threads: 1) working with distressed retail businesses and, 2) working with distressed town centres My own experience includes fifty years of retail management across many sectors and scales of business. It also includes forty years of working with town centre management and similar schemes. I have been actively engaged in the ongoing, and long-lived, debate on the British High Street. I do not subscribe to many of the oft-repeated ideas about identified causes for the decline or of their putative cures. As both a retailer and a geographer my ideas about vibrant and vital centres are generally broader in scope than many others and they are always evidence driven.

Main Services

For retailers: appraisals of business plans, locational analysis, organisational training analysis, owner/manager mentoring. For town centres: analysis of town centre plans, supporting the development of stakeholder engagement, appraisal and support for planned town centre schemes.

Recent Projects

Confidentiality considerations prevent precise descriptions of work carried out. In the past five years I have supported chains of retailers in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, as well as in the UK through restructuring and rationalisation schemes. Work in British town centres has been carried out in Lincolnshire, Essex, Greater London, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Bedfordshire. I have also over the years worked in France, The Netherlands, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary, Italy, and Belgium, as well as throughout the UK.
