Last week Downtown Spokane Partnership hosted their annual State of Downtown & Awards Breakfast. DSP and the downtown business community help make our downtown core a thriving, dynamic place and are also making strides on some of our toughest challenges. We’re proud to support this work and were honored to pass on the Legacy Award to this year’s winner, Nordstrom Spokane. Congratulations!

We know what the problems are. And we know what the solutions should be. Unlocking place potential needs to start with good place leadership and collaboration across multiple groups.
"John Lewis Partnership chair Dame Sharon White has called for a Royal Commission on high streets, but town centre solutions must be locally inspired and driven – and there is plenty of good practice to share, argues expert Graham Soult." I'm delighted to have been invited to write a column for industry bible Retail Week, drawing from my positive experiences of working in #Durham and elsewhere 👇 #highstreet #highstreets #retail #evolvingnotdying Institute of Place Management High Streets Task Force
‘High streets need grassroots solutions – not a Royal Commission to tell us what we already know’

This is Gert Boyle's Son - Tim Boyle. I agree with him - "“Portions of Portland have plummeted frankly. It’s been very rapid,” Boyle said, speaking from his mom Gert’s old office. “Leadership requires getting kicked in the teeth.” I will say ALSO - I TOO have seen DIRECT involvement and collaboration from Governor Tina Kotek. Yes, things require dedicated support and involvement, engagement over length of time to get programs & PDX working again. We Do this Part! I was on the ground before and during the bounce back. We worked hard to rebuild the downtown economy again - every business down there, the non-profit Central City Concern. Blanchet House has been feeding people - doing the most effective case management - yet has the least funding. Nobody is doing any sort of legal assistance to elders being evicted - dishonestly. In Massachusetts we all worked together with MHASA to make it illegal statewide to evict an elder into the street without engaging in caseload to assist with placement. HOUSING was built for elders as a result. Personally, I have witnessed to much trauma on my work commutes and in my business environments. I have watched newly made elders on the Trimet until it stops running - Green about being homeless in the streets of Portland during it's worst time. This is reality folks - I watched business come in with contracts and walk back out of our REGION with them - as they did not like what they were seeing, saying your Leaders are needing to be held accountable. #pdx - we REQUIRE ACCOUNTABILITY from our cabal of City Leaders. Where is the $ that never got spent, and when it did there were no measurable outcomes or metrics to be shown for it? Why do our City Leadership blame each other, yet never reach out to viable programs in cities like Boston and Cambridge that have vetted success in WINTER REGIONS! INSTEAD - WE LET PEOPLE DIE IN THE STREET? They used the excuse that it's not under the required freezing temperatures to open the Warming Shelters this year - and refused to include the Wind Chill Factor into those temperature readings in order to call that restriction. That was AFTER they closed all Shelters Citywide at 4pm during a deep ice freeze that comes in our region when the East Wind blows down the Columbia River Gorge - the windiest place on earth. Come for Wind sailing sometime in the summer. In addition to all this - if we continue trying disparate citizens as criminals - we don't even have enough Public Defenders available as it is, and many cases get thrown out. Pay attention to what he has to say at the end of the interview - that's a warning in the reality of economics. When jobs of this type and amount are already being imposed upon by AI and Robotics - we can't afford to lose our backyard.

Basically, this post is saying I'm very old. With great age however, comes great experience! 🤓 #futureofretail #experientialretail #visitorattractions #visitorexperience #customerexperience #productivityimprovement #ambience
Our organisation takes its inspiration from Stephen Spencer's business journey, which started in the High Street at age 15 and took him to Regent Street, via the Tower of London, and to Buckingham Palace by the age of 30. A combination of luck, curiosity and thinking differently enabled his contribution to the cultural retail revolution of the early 1990s. Since then Stephen has worked with, studied, learned from, and helped some of the brightest stars and most prestigious brands in the retail, leisure, and tourism sectors. His journey features milestones such as creating the Buckingham Palace Shop, launching London’s cable car, revitalising a confectionery-themed visitor attraction, and turning a national conservation charity inside-out, from property- to customer-focus. Stephen is a Trustee of Abbotsford, The Home of Sir Walter Scott, and now a five star-rated visitor attraction, and is a Fellow of The RSA (The royal society for arts, manufactures and commerce), and of The Tourism Society. Stephen will ensure every journey meets your expectations and requirements, and will specifically support assignments involving brand, marketing, customer experience, retail, and other income generation. But what is Stephen’s favourite shop? Find out here | https://lnkd.in/eQ2nUkRq #JourneyInspiration #ExperienceMatters #RetailInnovation #RetailGuru #CustomerExperience #FellowFRSA

An important post to share!
As CEO of Stonegate Group and as someone who has been passionate about pubs and hospitality my whole career, I know just how critical the relief on business rates and freezing of the multiplier has been to many pubs, bars and venues whose running costs are at absolutely unprecedented levels. Ahead of the Autumn Statement, Stonegate and I are joining with others across hospitality to call on the government to freeze the business rates multiplier and to extend the 75% relief for hospitality for a further year. Action is urgently required to protect thousands of businesses that are at the heart of their communities, throughout the country. Our colleagues, partners, and publicans are writing to their MPs. If you haven’t already done so, please do email your MP and lend your support to this crucial cause. The link below from the good folk at UKHospitality makes it very simple to do so. https://lnkd.in/ev4pDEYQ

Offshoring Innovator & Entrepreneurial Mentor | Empowering Businesses & Communities with Purpose-Driven Outsourcing Solutions
🍫 A Tale of Birmingham's Titans: The Chamberlains and Cadburys 🏭 The profound legacies of two families from Birmingham's history – the Chamberlains and the Cadburys. Their story is not just about building empires; it's about the selfless dedication to serving others, a principle that continues to inspire me and, I hope, many others. The Chamberlains and Cadburys shaped modern Birmingham through industry and politics, but more importantly, through their unwavering commitment to public service. They weren't driven by the pursuit of wealth; their actions were guided by faith, philanthropy, and a strong sense of community. Joseph Chamberlain, with his vigorous reforms and public works, transformed Birmingham into a model of efficient urban governance. The Cadburys, on the other hand, used their success in the chocolate industry to create the area of Bournville, a model village offering a better quality of life for workers with schools, leisure and health facilities and public parks. These families didn't conform to the typical elite; they were innovators and radicals, shaping politics and industry on their own terms, driven by a desire to improve the lives of those around them. They saw their wealth and influence as tools for public good, not personal gain. In today's world, where businesses often chase profits at all costs, the story of the Chamberlains and Cadburys serves as a powerful reminder. Success isn't just about what you achieve for yourself; it's about how you uplift others. As we navigate the challenges of our time, their legacy can be a guiding light. Strive not just for material success but for meaningful impact. Serving others is not just an act of kindness but a responsibility we all share. In 2024 build not just for profit, but for purpose. Create businesses and initiatives that serve, support, and sustain communities. #Legacy #PurposeDrivenBusiness #BirminghamHistory
