The Scotch Corner Designer Village has strengthened its management team with two new appointments.

Hodkinson has specialised in outlet shopping for over 25 years. In her most recent role, she was leasing executive at Sheila King International where she advised US, Canadian and European clients on brands, trends and insight in both the retail and leisure sectors. Prior to that, she worked with Realm on the leasing of London Designer Outlet at Wembley Park and other schemes. She has also previously worked as international leasing manager at McArthurGlen where she was involved in the leasing and asset management of sites in the UK, France and Italy.
Meanwhile, Hanson-Lowe has over 25 years’ experience in marketing, including fashion marketing for PRL, Jigsaw and Gucci. His prior roles also include leading the marketing for The Bicester Village Shopping Collection, POP Prague, Springfields Outlet & Leisure, the Via Jurmala launch in Latvia, and the relaunch of retail at Gatwick Airport. In addition, he is a former global business director of Saatchi & Saatchi and Publicis.
Simon Waterfield, developer and co-owner of Scotch Corner Richmond, said: “As well as building an impressive retail and leisure destination for people who live in, visit and travel through this part of the UK, we’re creating a strong team that brings know-how, impressive track-records and extensive experience to the project. Sarah and Patrick have great experience in the outlet market and will work alongside Ian Sanderson of Sanderson Leisure and Retail (SLR), the market leaders in leisure-based outlet market asset management.”
