Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, asset manager for SGS said: “We are delighted to welcome a host of new and exciting brands across our centres, and to renew terms with a number of our high profile existing tenants – setting a positive tone for the year ahead. “The news means we continue to make excellent progress against our three core strategic objectives - improving rent collection, securing our anchor tenants’ leases and adding exciting new footfall drivers to our centres.” He added: “Despite the continued disruption brought by lockdowns, physical retail remains a central pillar of brands’ long-term strategies, key to driving sales online as well as in-store. We have seen continued interest in our space from prospective tenants and have a number of further exciting deals in the pipeline.”
