If there’s one person with their finger on the pulse of retail and leisure, it’s Jayne Rafter, owner of Retail & Leisure International. So while we were both in Cannes recently, I was keen to catch up with her to discuss: 📰 how the sector has evolved during her 21 years leading one of the industry’s most respected global retail and leisure platforms 🌍 how businesses are adapting to an increasingly uncertain landscape 🏢 and why Eldon Square is a great example of a partnership between public and private sectors, culture and community creating a thriving city centre destination. Under the stewardship of XPE Group and Newcastle City Council, Eldon Square continues to demonstrate the value of collaboration, adaptability and long-term vision. I really enjoyed the conversation with Jayne - catch it here. #Retail #Leisure #CommercialProperty #Placemaking #EldonSquare #MIPIM Pete Cooper Barry Cox Olivia Telfer Helen Cowie Richard Beasley
