MILL Gate’s Marie Gribben has been crowned Shopping Centre Manager of the Year.
Marie, who joined as centre manager in summer 2014, was given the accolade at the Sceptre Awards which recognises leading practice and the best people in the shopping centre industry.
It puts the spotlight on management teams, retailers and suppliers that demonstrate real excellence.
She beat the manager of The Exchange in Ilford and Broad Street Mall in Reading in the medium-sized shopping centre category.
The ceremony took place at The Dorchester in London on Tuesday.
Marie, who has more than 17 years of retail experience, was given a glass trophy which will be displayed in the management office at Mill Gate.
She said: “I’m absolutely thrilled that I’ve won this fantastic award. It is not only a great personal achievement for me but a testament to the fantastic team behind Mill Gate, our retailers and shoppers.”
