Webinar
The impact of hybrid working on towns and cities
Springboard’s latest webinar explored the latest footfall and market trends as hybrid working becomes more established nationally. Marketing & Insights Director, Diane Wehrle, examined footfall trends across the UK and the impact on town centre activity versus larger regional cities where office working drove a high proportion of footfall pre-pandemic.
Diane was joined by industry guests who reflected on footfall performance within their area and the impact they are seeing due to hybrid working becoming more prevalent.
