I have been the Centre Manager at CrownGate Shopping Centre for over 5 years, (having moved to Worcester for the role), I quickly recognised the huge gap in potential spend caused by ill perceived ideas around the retail and leisure offer in this beautiful city.
Through strategic management, aided by developing relationships with key stakeholders in the wider city audience the offer within the two distinctive schemes in CrownGate are beginning to align to changing consumer and retailing needs.
The 'Our Space Your Place' project is one of the many projects that CrownGate has developed and aims to create real retail business opportunities for the students at the University of Worcester (UoW). Working in partnership with the UoW and Barclays Bank the students will be asked to develop a product or service and deliver it into the public domain through the free use of the retail unit within CrownGate Shopping Centre.
