Andy Jackson has been appointed as the new centre director for the Cribbs retail and leisure schemes.
Jackson previously held centre manager roles at Westquay in Southampton, Mailbox in Birmingham, Centre:MK in Milton Keynes and The Gracechurch Centre in Sutton Coldfield.
At Cribbs, he joins Leon Morse and Lizzie Taylor as part of the site leadership team, and will be responsible for Cribbs Mall, Cribbs Venue leisure park, and Cribbs Retail Park which are owned by M&G Real Estate, and asset managed by Sovereign Centros from CBRE.
Jackson said: “I am so excited to join one of the UK’s most successful retail and leisure destinations. As the home of more than 150 shops and restaurants, and with 6.2 million people seeing Cribbs as their closest super regional shopping centre, it is no wonder that brands are queuing up to join our line-up.
“I look forward to working with new and existing brands as we continue to innovate our offering to our growing shopper base, whilst also building connections with local stakeholders to promote Cribbs as the South West’s leading day out destination.
Iain Minto, senior director, asset management at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, added: “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Andy Jackson as the new centre director for Cribbs. Andy will be able to build on the fantastic work the team have done in turning Cribbs into so much more than a shopping destination as we continue to innovate our leisure and F&B offering to create an all-day destination which caters for our thriving younger audience.
“This is an exciting time for Cribbs Causeway and Andy will play a vital role in working with our local stakeholders to promote this part of the South West to both national and international investors keen to capitalise on the growth opportunities available across this region.”
