Property consultancy appointed to manage 770,000 sq ft shopping centre

Doncaster-based property consultancy, Barnsdales, has been selected by Frasers Group to undertake the property and asset management of the Frenchgate Shopping Centre.

The retailing giant bought the centre last year and has now chosen Barnsdales to oversee key elements of the 770,000 sq ft shopping destination in the city centre.

Jason Barnsdale, managing director of Barnsdales, said: “With its own transport hub, the Doncaster Interchange, and adjoining railway station, it’s certain that when people come to Doncaster, they come to the Frenchgate Shopping Centre.

“It’s an honour to be entrusted with the everyday management of the centre and to act as asset managers and joint leasing agents with Rawstron Johnson on behalf of the Frasers Group; we’re determined to help it thrive as a bustling shopping and dining destination.

“Barnsdales is headquartered in the city, working nationally from offices throughout the UK. This is a significant instruction for the Barnsdales property management team.”

Barnsdales, which was established in Doncaster almost 120 years ago, also now has offices in Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham, Bristol, Cirencester, Manchester, Lincoln, and London.

Corinne Mycock, general manager at Frenchgate, said: “We’re pleased to bring on Barnsdales as property and asset managers and joint letting agents.

“As they are based in the city, we feel they have a close connection to – and an innate feel for – the place, which is essential.

“We’re hopeful that having professionals from a company based in and operating from Doncaster will give us a more hands-on, proactive approach.”
