Our team had a great time at the Sceptre Awards, celebrating the best people and best practices in the Shopping Centre industry.

There were lots of successes to celebrate including:

• Touchwood Shopping Centre – Centre Manager of the Year (Large Centre) win for Tony Elvin and Highly Commended in the Diversity and Inclusion Scheme of the Year category.

• St Johns Shopping Centre won Car Park of the Year for their price down, customer service up strategy and were Highly Commended in the Operations Manager of the Year category.

• Handforth Dean Retail Park were Highly Commended in the Car Park of the Year category.

• Stamford Quarter, Broadway Shopping Centre, Castle Quay Shopping Centre, and The Arc all made it through to the finals!

• CBRE won the Grand Prix Award for their outstanding business performance across the board.

It wasn’t to be for our Templars Square Shopping Centre Security Team this time, but we’re very proud of them for making the finals!

It was a fantastic night, celebrating the Shopping Centre industry and great to see so many of our Partners from around the UK at the event. Congratulations to everyone on their wins and nominations.

We look forward to next year’s awards!

Today is Purple Tuesday, a day dedicated to raising awareness of what it’s like to live with a disability, and here at The Westgrove Group, we pledge our support.

With 1 in 5 customers living with a disability, accessibility is more important than ever. Purple Tuesday has been created to recognise the importance and needs of disabled customers and to promote inclusive shopping and improving the customer experience for disabled people, 365 days a year. Taking place to coincide with the run up to the peak Christmas period, the event has been created by disability organisation Purple.

The day will see retailers in stores and online introducing new measures to make shopping a more inclusive experience, sending a powerful message that they care about all their customers and that their business matters to them.
