Workman Retail manages over 70 shopping centres throughout the UK, and Wisbech’s Horsefair is one of the smallest in its portfolio. This makes Kevin’s most recent award all the more commendable and recognises the hard work Kevin showcases every day.

Kevin’s Workman Centre Manager of the Year award comes just weeks after he received a Certificate of Commendation for being a runner up in the Marketing Manager of the Year category at the prestigious, national SCEPTRE awards back in June, which recognise the very best in the shopping centre sector. He has also previously won the NewRiver Retail Shopping Centre Manager of the Year for a Small Centre award and a Purple Apple Pip award from the British Council of Shopping Centres.

On receiving his award, Kevin commented: “I am delighted to have been presented this award. It came as such a surprise to me! It’s been an incredible few weeks at the Horsefair. To have such a run of success is fantastic, not just for me but also for the centre. The Horsefair is small centre compared to some of the others that Workman look after so it’s brilliant to get such recognition”.

James Taylor, partner at Workman Retail, said: “Kevin always has a cool head and takes things in his stride. His achievements over the years have been vast and we’re very proud of the work that he does for Wisbech town centre.”

Kevin Smith receives his award for Centre Manager of the Year from Tara Dalton, property manager for the Horsefair Shopping Centre.
