"Over the last five years, the Retail team at Colliers International has been a vital component in Sainsbury’s drive to expand our food store representation. As our retained agents and property advisors on supermarkets in the North of England, they have been pivotal in delivering a strong pipeline of new space, including Heaton Park in Manchester which is our largest “at grade” store. Their expertise, professionalism and commitment is second to none and Sainsbury’s value the support that they provide to our property activities very highly."
