Charter Walk Shopping Centre in Burnley is to have a new Shopping Centre Manager. Debbie Hernon has been appointed into this role by Addington Capital, the property investment and asset management company. Debbie has been appointed by Addington for the Burnley Shopping Centre amidst a number of other changes that are taking place at the Centre. Debbie is expected to be a great asset to Charter Walk and with all of the other activity taking place, Debbie’s appointment is timed well in order to make maximum impact. The 250,000 sq. ft. shopping centre in Burnley has already seen a flurry of activity this year. The Shopping Centre are making preparations for a new 40,000 sq. ft. Primark Store. The popular clothing chin is expected to be trading from their new store at Charter Walk in the Spring of next year. In order to prepare for this move and to make the most out of the space at Charter Walk, the asset managers at Addington have also managed to successfully move the popular high street brand Wilko’s into the unit previously occupied by the 99p store on the mall. In order to welcome Primark in the Spring of 2018, the contractors are already on site stripping the allocated unit and carrying out the structural alterations that are required before the successful Primark fit out can go ahead. The contractors that have been working in the unit so far have been Lambert Smith Hampton and the Project Manager, Gayle Taylor has said that a number of investigations in the unit have gone ahead successfully and the construction work is moving ahead as planned. It is good news for Burnley that a large high street store such as Primark is opening. The new addition will bring an economic boost to the town centre as well as attracting shoppers to the area.
