New general manager at Highcross
Published: 29 September, 2010
Mark Murphy has taken over from Tom Nathan as general manager of the £350m Highcross in Leicester.
Murphy is formerly vice president of global operations for Regus. Other previous roles include operations director at Holmes Place Health and Fitness as well as group development manager at Specsavers. He also spent nine years with Woolworths PLC, rising to category implementation manager.
He said: “In the two years that it has been open, Highcross has made a huge impact on the city centre, attracting millions of visitors to the area and creating a new ambiance within Leicester. I am looking forward to playing a significant role in the development of the city in the coming years, and welcoming new retailers such as Jones Bookmaker is a way of adding to the brilliant offering that Highcross – and indeed Leicester – already has.
“In addition to boosting the number of retailers that we have here at Highcross, Jones’ will also bring new jobs to the city, which is fantastic news.”
Murphy has welcomed three new retailers to Highcross since he joined the centre. Jones Bootmaker is the latest arrival.
Specialising in contemporary footwear, Jones Bootmaker stocks a wide selection of brands, including the likes of Ted Baker, Clarks Originals, Hush Puppies and Ikon.
