Southside Shopping Centre appoints new Centre Director

Southside Shopping Centre has announced the appointment of Shannon Reed as its new Centre Director.

Shannon brings a wealth of experience in the retail landscape, having previously lead operations for brands and franchise partners across Australia, Ireland, Kuwait, Oman, and in the UK.

As Centre Director, Shannon is passionate about continuing to transform Southside into a vibrant, community-focussed destination, and ensure that the Wandsworth-based shopping centre will operate with the community at its core. The role will blend strategic leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement to drive the centre’s commercial and cultural success.

Shannon Reed, Centre Director at Southside Shopping Centre, commented: “Southside is brimming with potential, and we’re embarking on an exciting new chapter. Our recent enhancements, including new customer entrances, branding, and lighting that pays tribute to the site’s greyhound racing heritage, have made huge differences to the shopping experience for guests.

“We’re committed to continuing to invest in the centre and are delighted to be updating our retail mix to bring sought after brands to the heart of Wandsworth, which will keep our guests returning, time and again. We look forward to sharing more details around the centre’s plans in due course.”

The appointment of Southside Shopping Centre’s new Centre Director follows the recent completion of a multi-million-pound refresh which has made significant enhancements to both the interior and exterior of the centre, combining modern aesthetics with community heritage. The works included the remodelling of each of the centre’s entrances as well as the installation of integrated seating and improved lighting inside the centre.
