On this episode of Talking Shop I am joined by Zipline CEO and co-founder Melissa Wong. We discuss how Melissa’s 10 years’ of frontline experience informed her approach to building a SaaS company, the recurring operational frustrations that most head offices still underestimate, and why she believes technology should be designed with the store associate as the primary user.

The owner of the Westfield shopping centres, Unibail-Rodamco (URM), has reported a 5.2% increase in tenant sales at its UK centres during Q3, also reporting a spike in footfall.

For the three month period ending 30 September 2019, URM reported a 3.9% increase in footfall at its Westfield Stratford and Westfield London centres with European footfall as a whole increasing by 3.1%.

The company added that through August alone, tenant sales in Europe (+5.2%) outperformed the aggregate national sales indices by +332 bps, adding that the performance “reflects the superior quality of the group’s European shopping centres”.

In addition, for the nine month period to the end of September URM reported a 16.3% year-on-year increase in shopping centres turnover to £1.35bn.

In gross rental income URM revealed that UK shopping centres recorded the biggest jump, up 112% £70.54m. This was followed by its US store estate which saw a 102% increase to £295.9m.
