The Marlowes shopping centre in Hemel Hempstead has appointed Humphrey Mwanza as its new general manager.
Previously, Mwanza has worked as regional business manager at New Look, where he oversaw 16 stores for over ten years. He was also a store manager for Debenhams.
Mwanza will work closely with the retailers at The Marlowes to fine-tune the customer experience as well as drive footfall and revenue.
Lawrence Hutchings, chief executive of Capital & Regional, said: “I am excited that Humphrey has joined the Capital & Regional team as the new general manager of The Marlowes. His wealth of experience and industry knowledge already make him a valuable asset to our company. Given his previous success at Debenhams and New Look, we’re fortunate to have someone of his calibre fill this role.”
Capital & Regional is planning to invest around £15 million into the shopping centre over the next 18 to 24 months. This will include the opening of the Empire cinema, as well as a host of casual dining options and a food court.
