Why did you want to enter The Revo’s? 

The Revo’s are the pinnacle of awards for place marketers and landlords and we believe we have a unique, creative and important entry that is a game-changer for UK leisure. What has been created at Printworks is a UK first and represents a huge amount of efforts by the many parties involved.

What makes your entry standout?

Our entry stands out not only because of the end product that is a UK first that has attracted huge increases in footfall and generated partnerships with brands like Amazon Prime and Issey Miyake, but also because of the social and economic impact to the North West. The project had an economic impact of £18m, safeguarded 1000 jobs and preserves a historic building for future generations. It also provides a free visitor attraction during the cost of living crisis.

How do you envision the future of your industry, and how do you hope to contribute to it?

We know this industry is always changing and evolving. We want to lead the way and continue to innovate. Our guiding principle for placemaking has been “what wouldn’t you expect to see at Printworks” and we continue that mantra in to 2025 to enable us to surprise and delight our guests.
