RETAIL & LEISURE WEEK: Retail Market Analysis, James Child, Retail Research Manager, EG

Completely Retail & Leisure 2017: Around £824m has been invested into the UK retail sector so far in 2017, reflecting a slowdown in investment, according to EG data.

Speaking at the Completely Retail & Leisure event at Old Billingsgate Market, EC3, James Child, retail research manager at EG, revealed that of this £347m has been invested in shopping centres and £263m has been invested in retail parks. 

The slowdown has likely been prompted by uncertainty surrounding the referendum result.
