Frenchgate Shopping Centre in Doncaster has appointed a new centre manager

Howden-based Corinne Mycock, aged 56, joins Frenchgate from Trinity Leeds shopping centre where she has been central operations manager for the last eight years.

Corinne’s retail experience spans over 35 years, during which she has had her own chain of confectionary shops, several managerial roles at LK Bennett and Radley, and oversaw the first digitally-enabled Nike store in London’s White City before joining shopping centre management within the McArthurGlen Group.

I look forward to seeing new retail and leisure brands coming to the Centre to keep Frenchgate the heart of the city that everyone loves.”

Corinne has vowed to play an active role within the Doncaster business community, recognising the impact Frenchgate has on the city as an important asset. Corinne said: “I’m excited to see the development of Doncaster during my tenure here.

“I have already been speaking to business leaders within the city, and we all share the same vision of making Doncaster the destination it deserves to be. I will definitely be at the forefront of raising the profile of Doncaster and look forward to my journey here at Frenchgate.”
