The focus on property costs and rightsizing the locations has been one of the fundamental reasons for our success as we exit Covid and realise the new property landscape for retailers. We’ve needed to over-index our time internally on this part of the business with our strong property partner, RAB, to ensure we’re fit and healthy on our property estate for the years ahead….my belief is that all UK retailers now must demonstrate ruthless attention to detail on commercial property deals to guarantee longevity.

Julia Poulson has provided Well Pharmacy with her professional expertise over the last two years. Always bringing a calm, positive, upbeat and expert opinion, Julia has provided our property team with skilful guidance, commercial thinking and a pragmatic mindset to help us move matters forward. Julia quickly identified the healthcare property dynamics and guided the team and our agents to achieve significant achievements. In addition, Julia provided me with strategic property guidance and much-appreciated subject matter expertise.

Wickes recently had a short-term requirement for support within the lease advisory team, and RAB was able to provide a solution within 4 days of the request for help. I have worked with RAB for many years, and they provide individuals who are the best in their field. They seamlessly integrate into the existing team, allowing the business to move forward with minimal disruption. The services provided have been nothing short of fantastic and Nick Cooke has been a crucial member of the team during his time with us. He helped us sort some fundamental teething problems with our appraisal model, sales forecasting and data capture.

RAB Property Consultancy led the disposal of Cadeler’s former head office in Great Yarmouth, facilitating our early exit from the lease and significantly reducing our exposure to further occupancy costs. Richard’s expertise, commercial approach and understanding of our requirements ensured the process was handled effectively and delivered the right outcome for Cadeler. We valued RAB’s support throughout.
