Successful retailers are embracing the multi-channel environment and offering their customers an increasingly seamless retail experience, whilst others fail and go to the wall. High streets are looking for new ways to stimulate footfall and establish their identity. Bigger isn t necessarily better anymore for the supermarkets. Convenience is king, with c-stores, coffee shops, sandwich shops, betting shops and collection points continuing to spring up across the UK. Increasing numbers of retailers and brands are also turning to international markets to help fuel their growth. Oh and my home city, Leeds, has seen the opening of the impressive Trinity, further cementing its regional dominance and putting more downward pressure on the surrounding towns and cities of Yorkshire. It s an important time to have access to good market and consumer data, insightful retail analysis and robust planning tools. Callcredit Information Group s GMAP Team has 25 years retail location planning experience working with retailers across many retail sectors and international markets. Our RetailVision classification system, remains the most comprehensive in the UK, and forms the backbone of much of our work with retailers, brands and property companies. Our UK system is now supplemented by increasing numbers of similar classifications in international markets, including most recently China, enabling us to offer the same level of insight into the retail landscape in overseas markets, something we are very excited about.

// www.callcredit.co.uk/gmap // RetailVision Report 2013 // 04 Major cities and regional shopping centres retain retail revenues, whilst smaller towns and local shopping centres continue to face downward pressures The 2013 RetailVision Report reveals that the UK s largest retail destinations continue to maintain retail revenues, against a backdrop of increasing competition from online retailers and prolonged tough trading conditions. Major retail centres have further cemented their regional dominance and have put more downward pressure on the surrounding smaller towns and local shopping centres across the UK, where revenues have started to see some decline. These smaller retail destinations will have to work hard to stimulate footfall and establish their identity to attract shoppers. Trinity Leeds is the standout development during the period, and has pushed Leeds above Nottingham into 7th place in the ranking. Key findings: The top four retail centres: Oxford Street, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow retain their positions as the leading shopping destinations in the UK Although Manchester remains the top retail location outside of London, Westfield Stratford City Shopping Centre and Edinburgh have knocked the northern city out of the top 10 luxury retail centres While the majority of revenues have grown for the top retail centres, many lower tier towns and smaller shopping districts have seen revenues decrease Sunderland, Newport and Bradford have overtaken Blackpool as the top retail centres for value stores The retail centre rankings highlights a stable position amongst the top retail centres, largely due to the lack of largescale retail development during 2012/13. Trinity Leeds is the standout development during the period, and has pushed Leeds above Nottingham into 7th place in the ranking (4th outside London). The results highlight the opportunities and challenges faced by retail centres up and down the UK. Successful national and international retailers are continuing to extend their store footprint but the wider retail environment needs to be right to attract shoppers. The big centres can offer this; the question is can the smaller centres offer this too? In the current difficult economic climate we believe that RetailVision s comprehensive and multi-dimensional approach can help retailers, brands, property companies and town/shopping centre managers alike in identifying and implementing the right location strategies, and thus helping them derive maximum returns from their bricks and mortar investment. 2013 Callcredit Information Group Ltd.
