Elevate Retail Partnership Limited

We are Elevate Retail—the retail real estate advisors you hire when you need more than just a consultant. We are a team of former property directors and industry leaders who have sat in your seat. With over 75 years of combined in-house experience at the helm of the UK’s most iconic brands, we bring a unique "Retail Radar" to every project, seeing challenges from every angle to unlock genuine growth.

Why We Are Different: The In-House Advantage

Most advisors look at property from the outside in. We do the opposite. Because we have spent decades working inside major retailers—from the shop floor to the C-suite—we deliver instinctively. We understand the internal pressures of a retail business, the nuances of multi-channel growth, and the need for advice that is commercially grounded and operationally effective.

"Their sharp strategic insights and deeply considered solutions really are next level." — Richard Harpin, Founder of HomeServe.

Led by Industry Heavyweights

Our team isn't made up of career consultants; we are practitioners who have shaped the UK retail landscape:

• Rob (Co-CEO): Former Property Director at Debenhams and Commercial Director at Capital & Regional. Rob has a track record of delivering 100% growth in transactions and modernising flagship estates like Oxford Street.
• Gemma (Co-CEO): A partnerships expert who previously served as VP of Real Estate for Claire’s and Head of Leasing at Tesco. She is a specialist in scaling concession brands and driving multi-channel European growth.
• Stephen (Partner): Former Director of Estates at Boots and Group Property Director at Arcadia. Stephen has managed portfolios of over 2,000 stores and led property strategy for brands like Sainsbury’s and Wagamama.

Our "Ban the BS" Manifesto

We believe in clear, transparent, and collaborative relationships. We search for the "narrative in the numbers," turning complex data into actionable plans. Whether we are restructuring a national estate or developing a new ESG-focused leasing strategy, we work hand-in-glove with your leadership team to ensure every real estate decision aligns with your long-term business goals.

Supporting the Future of Retail

We love what we do, and we care about the people who make this industry work. That is why we are proud to donate a percentage of our profits to the Retail Trust, supporting the health and happiness of retail workers across the UK. When you work with us, you are partnering with a team that is as invested in the industry's future as you are.
