Opportunity: Embrace Abbeydale Retail Consultant

The Embrace Abbeydale project, funded by a major grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, alongside further support from Sheffield City Council and the J G Graves Charitable Trust, begins an exciting new chapter in Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet's remarkable story.

Sheffield Museums seeking to engage a retail specialist with significant experience in a visitor attraction context to advise us on the retail element of, and inform our thinking on the creation of, a new Welcome Hub at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, which will be ready to open on 1 April 2025.

Knowledge and experience:

The retail specialist will play a key role in informing the re-development of the space; identifying key opportunities based on our current and likely future audiences, local residents and potential audiences from the onsite café. They should have a good knowledge of retail in visitor attractions and insight into similar projects and spaces.

We envisage the work will be carried out in October and November 2024. It will include at least two site meetings with our retail and visitor experience team, and on site or online meetings with other specialists such as architects, structural engineers and the project manager.
