What we do
So many properties, so much to do... Property covers lots of different activities, from acquiring new sites to running building projects, from maintaining stores to disposing of surplus properties.
Though the skills vary widely, ultimately we're all working together as a team with the same goal in mind: to create and develop the best possible stores for our customers.
Property Acquisition and Town Planning
These are the people who look out for new sites to develop. They will liase with our Site Research and Marketing teams to see what local people want from a new store. And then the fun starts: negotiation and planning permission time...
Property Services
This team is made up of a diverse number of people. From the people who focus on the layout and visual appearance of our stores, to those who build, refit and maintain our world-class stores. They deal with cutting-edge construction techniques and the latest in clever engineering and facilities solutions.
Others in the team use their analytical skills to invest our money wisely, to deliver what our customers actually need. Very useful people to know...
Assets and Estates
Here's where we manage the properties we've got and look to develop them to meet our retail goals. Our investment property portfolio, which includes joint ventures operating shopping centres, also comes under this team.
