DEMOGRAPHICS
PROMIS estimate that Newcastle has a primary catchment area of some
859,000 people. This ranks Newcastle 8th out of the 70 PROMIS retail centres
throughout the UK. The city’s estimated shopping catchment population is
392,000, ranking it 14th.
Newcastle is the north east of England’s principal focus of economic activity. It is a popular location for
businesses given the large local (relatively low cost) labour supply and financial incentives. Sky, Tesco Bank,
Home Group and Sitel Corporation all have major call centres here.

Still within the financial and business services sector, several of the UK’s major accountancy and
professional services firms have large regional offices in Newcastle. These include Eversheds, Bond
Dickinson, PWC, Brewin Dolphin, Sage Group, Enter UK and Accenture. The city also has 2 universities
with a combined student population in excess of 42,000.

In February 2020, the Company successfully concluded a review

reserves despite the current economic uncertainty introduced
by the . These forecasts assumed reduced trading for a 6 month
period of social distancing followed by a lag period before
trading levels are expected to return to normal levels.
