Knight Frank’s latest data shows retail is now the top-performing property asset class for the second year running. Store closures and new openings are approaching equilibrium for the first time in over a decade.

What’s driving it? Fewer, better stores. Every square metre has to work harder, as a showroom, a fulfilment hub, a brand destination.

At Ampersand, we’ve delivered 9,000+ projects since 1988, from single-unit refurbishments to full national rollout programmes of 390+ sites.
The shift towards experience-led retail design is something we’ve been building towards for years.

If you’re planning a store refresh, new concept rollout, or portfolio optimisation programme for the year ahead..let’s talk.

What’s the single biggest challenge you’re facing with your retail estate right now?

If you're planning a project, whether a single site or a wider roll out, it's essential to get the fundamentals right early.

A lot of issues we see later on could have been avoided with solid planning at the start.

We're happy to have a conversation if it's useful?

Multiple generations. One business. 37 years of delivering projects.

My Dad, Brian, founded Ampersand Associates in 1988 because he couldn’t find a one-stop company that could offer a multi-disciplined approach from design to delivery. So he started one.

My brother and I grew up in this industry, quite literally born into it. And now Josh, the third generation, is already managing retail rollouts and working towards his MRICS.
What hasn’t changed in 37 years: the commitment to getting it right for our clients, the attention to detail, and the belief that a survey is the foundation of everything.

What has changed: the technology, the scale, the complexity of what we deliver. And the team around us, Duncan, Taran, Nik, Charlotte, Ellie, Ethan, every single one of the team is brilliant at what they do.

Family business doesn’t mean small thinking.

It means we care about every project like it’s our own.

Who else is proud to be part of a family-run business industry?

Having had a recent birthday, I came across some fascinating research about why sending birthday wishes matters more than we might think..

Psychologists have discovered that receiving birthday messages actually triggers the release of dopamine - our brain's "feel-good" chemical, and reinforces social belonging, which is a critical psychological need for well-being.

It's reassuring to know this isn't just politeness. There's real science showing that by sending birthday messages, we strengthen our sense of community!

There you go!

A lot of clients underestimate how important compliance is until it becomes an issue.
Things like CDM aren't just paperwork.

It's here to ensure:
Safety, Accountability, Proper Delivery
Handled properly, they protect everyone involved in the project.

If you are a property professional and you haven’t heard of CDM, then you need to speak with us.

We've supported many clients across retail, commercial, healthcare and aviation projects.
While every project is very different, the fundamentals stay the same:

- Clear information
- Stong coordination
- Practical design
- Structured delivery

That consistency is what allows our projects to run smoothly.
That's what to expect from the amazing Ampersand team.
