Michael is the former Chief Executive of the British Council of Shopping Centres (BCSC), where he spent 11 years developing it to become a strong trade body with over 3,000 members. He will bring this experience to the UKAA, as it aims to help drive up standards of customer service and delivery in the multi-family rental market.

Michael Green imageMichael (left) said that his hope for the UKAA is to build a membership organisation that people are proud to be part of and that contributes to the success of this growing sector, “I look forward to bringing people from across the industry together and raising the benchmark of service in the sector, resulting in a more professional and efficient marketplace and a better experience for the customers.”

Michael spent 20 years working for Marks & Spencer, during which he worked in stores and then the estates and store development
side of the business. He then moved to MEPC working on developing relationships between the landlord and the tenants in their shopping centres, before starting his own business GTT
Associates in 1997, where he focused on town centre management. From there he joined BCSC and after that was Development Roger Southam imageDirector at the Retail Trust.

Roger Southam (right), Founder of UKAA added, “It is a real coup for us to have Michael join the UKAA and benefit from his extensive experience and skills. These are exciting times as we establish the first cross-trade organisation for a sector that is growing at such a rapid rate.”
