Annual Review

The coronavirus global pandemic has dramatically affected people and communities and for business has created challenges unlike any experienced before. In spite of these challenges, our Peel L&P people embraced change and digital innovation, adopting new ways to communicate and collaborate. They did this with a sense of pride and determination to reach our goals, whilst supporting each other with a sympathetic view on balancing work / life pressures.

The financial year began with everyone in lockdown. Our
leadership team responded immediately, working together to rationalise and refocus in the face of an uncertain future.

Our immediate priorities were to ensure that our people, our customers and our partners were supported, and that our business could continue to operate as effectively as possible whilst adopting government-led Covid-19 safety guidelines.

During the pandemic, Peel L&P responded to the crisis
through the provision of land, property, services and support.

Working alongside our Peel Group parent company, we liaised with Public Health England to explore the possible use of our properties as Covid-19 testing sites and NHS Nightingale hospitals.

We supported the NHS through our digital advertising hoardings and social media platforms, which were made available for the promotion of NHS messages. Free parking spaces were provided for NHS key workers at our retail parks.

All our businesses and colleagues reviewed ways to offer support to the government, NHS, volunteer groups and local communities. Many volunteered their time to support the distribution of medical supplies and PPE.

At MediaCity we supported Salford Foodbank with the provision of food for 100 families each week, and provided rent-free space to accommodate the work of the volunteers.

“2020 saw our people deal with a different set of pressures, from balancing work commitments with the demands of family life, or dealing with feelings of isolation from homeworking. But I knew that if we worked together, in a supportive and empathetic way, we would get through this.”

Steven Underwood, CEO of Peel L&P and The Peel Group, reflects on an unprecedented year.
