Property manager appointed at Leicestershire shopping centre
Property management company Estama has been appointed by Panther Securities to oversee the Britannia Shopping Centre in Hinckley, Leicestershire.
The 85,000 sq ft scheme – the only enclosed retail destination in the town – is home to a number of nationally-renowned brands such as Poundstretcher, Boots, Peacocks, and Greggs.
The appointment marks a continuation in Estama’s expansion within the retail management sector, which has seen it pick up mandates at Queen Elizabeth Park, Wrexham, Northamptonshire, Cheshire, and County Durham in 2024.
George Grimes, director and head of property management at Estama, said: “We are thrilled to announce that Estama has been appointed by Panther Securities PLC to manage the Britannia Shopping Centre in Hinckley.
“The centre, with its mix of retailers and its status as the town’s only indoor retail offering, holds significant potential.
“While the retail sector continues to face challenges, we see an excellent opportunity to work with Panther to drive positive change and enhance the centre’s performance.”
Richard Swan BSc(Hons) MRICS, joint head of property at Panther, added: “We are excited to see how the asset evolves with Estama’s expert management.
“Their early recommendations and proactive initiatives have already impressed us, and we look forward to further developing the Britannia Shopping Centre with their guidance.”
