Telford Centre has delivered a robust performance through 2025, driven by improved sales, sustained footfall growth and a series of long-term leasing commitments from national and international occupiers.
The performance reflects a leasing strategy focused on relevance, experience-led retail and brand strength resulting in the scheme recording significant year-on-year sales growth, supported by consistently strong footfall, including nearly 500,000 visitors in early January 2026, despite adverse weather conditions.
During 2025, the centre welcomed over 94,000sqft of new or refitted space including major lettings secured to Mango, Savers, Footlocker, Kenji, Miniso, Starbucks, Select Apple Premium Reseller and Lash & Beauty. This year is set for further announcements coming soon, reinforcing the breadth of the centre’s fashion, lifestyle and F&B offer.
Alongside commercial performance, ESG investment remains a core pillar of the asset strategy. Telford Centre continues to operate as a zero-to-landfill site, achieved a 5% reduction in energy consumption during 2025, and recycled 548 tonnes of waste, equivalent to approximately 30 fully loaded HGVs. Energy savings achieved during the year equate to powering more than 700 domestic washing machines annually.
Further sustainability initiatives are planned, including the rollout of a 1MW solar scheme in Q2 2026, projected to reduce carbon emissions by 353,000kg per annum, alongside EV charging infrastructure and ongoing community support.
With strong occupier demand, improving trading metrics and a clear ESG roadmap, Telford Centre enters 2026 well-positioned for continued growth and long-term resilience.
Poppy Radford, asset manager, Sovereign Centros from CBRE, “2025 has been a highly positive year for Telford Centre, underpinned by strong trading performance, sustained footfall and a clear improvement in the quality and diversity of the tenant mix.
“Securing long-term commitments from brands such as Mango, Starbucks and Savers demonstrates continued occupier confidence in the scheme and the strength of Telford’s catchment. As we move into 2026, our focus is on building further momentum through targeted leasing, continued ESG investment and delivering long-term value for all stakeholders.”
