Hammerson and Standard Life: Coopy and Jenky do well

Peter Cooper, Hammerson Portfolio Director said:

"It is vital for retail destinations to attract new brands and retail formats which continually evolve the retail mix. Brent Cross's continued strength of retail sales and consumer appeal is based on this. After 35 years of trading, Brent Cross continues to be on the top of retailers' list for launching new formats and delivering retail innovation."

Ed Jenkins, Head of UK Retail at Standard Life Investments:

"Given the UK's tough trading environment, attracting the launch of a totally new brand from an established international retailer is a ringing endorsement for Brent Cross."
