Rock Up Heidi Duckworth, Executive Chairman of innovative indoor leisure operator Rock Up, talks to Cushman & Wakefield’s Dominic Bouvet about how climbing - the thrill-based adventure which is accessible to everybody, has been brought to the mass population. 95% of people recommend Rock Up and would return, with 80% of people driving up to forty minutes to enjoy the activity – it’s definitely ‘up there’ as a ‘Feel Good’ leisure concept!

We have spent the last five years growing the business in the UK, testing di erent formats, being sure of what works. I think we have built a quality brand that is well known in the UK market and 2020 will be the year that we look at going international! Cushman & Wakefield has extensive experience of successfully combining leisure and retail property. We know that to achieve optimum results, adding leisure must be part of a holistic process that actively considers all of the uses (o ces, residential, logistics...) in a given scheme and actively seeks to deliver uplifts to each of them. We are also aware of many traditional urban shopping centres across Europe which have yet to make any significant change to their use structure. Landlords who recognise the opportunity to redefine and revitalise their schemes will unquestionably be rewarded. The supreme flexibility and future-proofing adaptability of leisure means it is perfectly placed to deliver the win-win outcomes that will make landlords, operators and consumers all feel good.
