Leslie Jones is regarded as one of the leading exponents of retail planning and design with extensive experience of all types and concepts of retailing and long standing relationships with major retailers. Our detailed experience and understanding of the delivery of retailers' requirements enables us to creatively satisfy the development essentials of footflow, sightlines, footplates and future flexibility within the constraints of high quality urban design.

We pride ourselves in having an in-depth understanding of development principles which underpin the essential process of creating value and delivering development returns.

With the constantly increasing competitiveness of retail environments, the shopping destination needs to provide a sense of place and be supported by a combination of leisure, eating out, customer service and management facilities that ensure its long term sustainability.

In addition to advising private sector developers, we advise public sector clients on retail planning and also deliver international retail consultancy.
