Warehouse premises in Bristol as part of the region which is bucking national declining trends

Bristol’s strength as a place to do business and be located in these current uncertain times has been even further cemented by the £500 million Cabot Circus shopping centre, which is continuing to buck national trends. While retail in the rest of the country has been badly hit by the recession and falls in consumer spending, Cabot Circus has continued to go from strength to strength.

As a whole the South West has fared better than the rest of the country, with vacancy rates currently standing at 7.9 per cent. The Bristol region was one of the few to increase the number of shoppers at 0.4 per cent and has fared better than most of the other town centres in the region.
