TownCentred is a specialised consultancy focused on the regeneration and revitalisation of town centres and high streets. Founded by George Grace, the consultancy operates from the belief that successful regeneration requires synthesizing the perspectives of the local community first combined with business occupiers and property owners.

Partnership development such as BIDs, Asset Backed Vehicles and Voluntary Developer Partnerships.
Establishing Local Asset Backed Vehicles (LABVs), such as the Bournemouth Development Company.
Delivering strategies for Asset Repurposing and sustainable Place-Making.
This unique blend of experience (Chartered Surveyor, Retail MBA, and Economic Development qualifications) enables engagement at the highest level across all key stakeholder groups—landlords, developers, shop owners, and resident groups—to create a resilient future centred on Economy, Community, Homes, Sustainability, and Transport.
