Business is blooming at a Stratford-upon-Avon shopping complex.
Shrieves Walk, a parade of nine shops off Sheep Street, managed by property agents CPBigwood, has won a Stratford in Bloom accolade.
Runner up in the Large Business category, the firm took on the contract almost two years ago, its first with Midland property investors and developers Grevayne Properties.
Lora Titchen, property manager at CPBigwood, said: “We are really pleased. We have been working hard with the tenants to make the parade as customer friendly as we can.
“This will further boost its appeal and hopefully see it become even more attractive to tourists and locals alike.”
The units enjoy the advantage of being in close proximity to the town’s major theatres and riverside walks,.
The award was presented at a ceremony in Stratford’s Civic Hall.
The gardening contractor is Blenheim Nursery, a family-owned local company looking after the horticultural needs of many Stratford businesses.
CPBigwood manages a lot of similar retail developments.
Grevayne Properties, a vehicle of the Coombs family who have long played a major role in the business life of the Midlands, was established in 1972. It has its headquarters in Stratford and is now a multifaceted property company operating in the commercial, development and investment sectors.
