Manchester Airport wins BCSC Gold Award
Terminal 1 at Manchester Airport, has won best out-of-town retail scheme and the Gold Award at the British Council of Shopping Centres 2009 Awards.
The £34m project included a new 14-lane central search zone aimed at reducing passenger processing time and thereby allowing more time to take full advantage of T1's expanded and improved retail offering.
The BCSC Gold Awards Jury said: "This innovative delivery of a new retail and catering trail through the airport has led to a significant growth in sales and customer satisfaction. The sharp design in the mall areas has cleverly linked the overall retail offer, showing understanding of how the customer reacts as they enter the building and their differing moods at different points of their journey.
"The catering and retail are first class; the design and attention to detail are clever and sometimes subliminal."
