10 years ago today I co-founded Bruce Gillingham Pollard and today we are a business of 26 amazing people, offering a full global service for Landlords and occupiers and have firmly established ourselves as the premier independent retail and leisure agency.

We have genuinely changed places and created whole new destinations.  We have made great friends across the industry with long standing trusted relationships.

As I write our entire consumer base has been forced to close and we’ve all been subject to extreme restrictions. So what’s next…

Tomorrow doors finally start to reopen.  During the past year BGP has worked tirelessly to manage the chaos that has inevitably surrounded our industry and I’m hugely proud of the achievements we have made as a team.

Most importantly we have all learnt, trained and prepared for the future after COVID.  BGP is what I like to call battle ready!

As the gates open tomorrow morning, the sun will shine again, the crowds will roar and BGP will walk out ready for the fight.  We’ve never been more excited for the opportunity to impact how our high street and retail centres evolve – that satisfaction of creating places (and most importantly the team celebrations!).

It’s going to be an absolutely belting next 10 years, we are just getting started.

We thank all our clients and friends within the industry for their support and I extend personal thanks to Tracey and Rupert the team, past and present, without whom BGP wouldn’t be strength of business that it is.

COVID secure celebration party to follow shortly!
