What to expect


Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic has brought uncertainty and frustration across the retail and leisure market, one thing is clear; it has accelerated the pace of change across British high streets, retail parks and shopping centres.

In this webinar, we review the 12 months of 2020, from the pre-pandemic months, throughout the various lockdowns, tier systems and the myriad of changing restrictions to understand how different locations, retail categories and brands were impacted by COVID-19.

We'll share the latest data on vacancy rates, openings and closures, persistent vacancy, redevelopment rates and will look at the longevity of some of the trends that appeared over the course of the year.

Following the market update, we will be joined by guest panellists who are working to support the market through this uniquely challenging period in various ways.
