Swinton Square has welcomed a brand new face to the team by appointing a new Centre Manager, Chris Doidge.

Chris joined the team in early 2018, having previously worked in Rochdale for the past 10 years. Though new to the Swinton area, he is excited at the developments taking place within Swinton and joining an area with a strong sense of community.

In his new role, Chris is ensuring that he is seen out and about on The Square to catch up with tenants and resolve any queries quickly and efficiently. One area Chris is keen to tackle is ensuring a steady flow of customers throughout the week and building trade in traditionally quieter periods.

This which will be achieved by attracting new tenants, as well as holding a number of events and marketing campaigns throughout the year.

Chris commented;

“I love dealing with positive people and driving things forward to create improvements.  This is hopefully something that I can achieve at Swinton Square and improve the Centre to create an even more positive environment. Swinton is a great area and it feels like we are on the cusp of some really exciting times. I love the strong sense of community here, everyone has been so welcoming and its clear there is a huge desire to improve the town and work together.”

Outside of work, Chris is a big football fan and has supported Man Utd from a very early age. He is also a motor sport lover and supports a variety of friends in motor sport competitions, including Ultra4 and the British Touring Car Championship. He loves taking his son to these events as despite only being 17 months old is already a big motor head just like his father!
