It's an exciting time once again for the development of the city with plenty of opportunity to cultivate Preston into a smart, desirable place to shop, with various developers currently debating different creative plans and fresh ideas.

The unit on Fishergate is an excellent example of this and our expertise and knowledge of both local and national retail sectors will aid us in filling this prime unit."
