Grosvenor appoints new Liverpool ONE director

Grosvenor has announced the appointment of Chris Jukes as director of Liverpool ONE, succeeding Alison Clegg who is stepping down after 15 years at the property group. Jukes first joined Grosvenor in 2005 and has held various finance positions in Grosvenor Property UK and the broader Grosvenor business. He is currently responsible for finance in the UK property business’ Development and Investment teams, including Liverpool ONE. Clegg joined in March 2007, ahead of the opening of the first phase of Liverpool ONE in May the following year. She was involved with Liverpool ONE throughout her time at Grosvenor and recently led the destination through the pandemic and its “significant bounce back”. Grosvenor owns around 23% of Liverpool ONE via the Grosvenor Liverpool Fund, and also manages the destination on behalf of all investors. Since opening in 2008, the 1.65 million sq ft regeneration scheme has become one of the dominant retail and entertainment destinations in the UK, attracting 29 million visitors annually. Rachel Dickie, executive director of Investment at Grosvenor Property UK, said: “An early example of levelling-up, Liverpool ONE is a testament to how a long-term approach to regeneration can revitalise city centres, drive employment and support wider economic growth. Since 2008, through sensitive stewardship it has successfully integrated into the wider city centre whilst retaining its unique sense of place. “As Liverpool ONE approaches its 15th anniversary, we’re incredibly grateful for everything Alison has accomplished during her tenure and wish her all the best. We’re fortunate to have someone with Chris’s experience in place to take Liverpool ONE through an incredibly exciting year in Liverpool and to the next chapter.” Alison Clegg, managing director, Asset Management, added: “Liverpool ONE is a very special place, made even more so by the privilege of working alongside so many great people, the public who have made it their own, and our partners in the city. I shall leave with huge pride in what we have achieved, some sadness, but with great confidence in Chris and his ability to take Liverpool ONE on the next stage of its journey.” Jukes concluded: “The opportunity to lead Liverpool ONE is a hugely galvanising prospect. I joined Grosvenor in 2005 to work on the project, so to return and lead the team into the 15-year anniversary of Liverpool ONE is very rewarding. “Whilst the retail sector faces many challenges, well-managed and curated destinations will continue to perform. With Eurovision coming to Liverpool next year, as well as our own milestone, it is set to be an exciting time for the UK’s most sociable city.”
