'If a brand wants prime positioning, it comes down to their proposition and their ability to deliver'

On this episode of talking shop we are joined by Bruce Findlay, Managing Director for Retail at Landsec, the property giant behind shopping destinations like Bluewater, Trinity Leeds, and Gunwharf Quays. With a 25-year background running major consumer brands across Europe and Asia, Bruce brings a unique tenant's perspective to the landlord world.

We explore the brand-side blindspots he can see clearly now, how Landsec tracks the real financial cross-pollination of mixing retail with cinemas and food halls, and how to balance agile pop-ups with long-term leases.
