Europe’s leading video games retailer GAME has strengthened its Property team to enable the Group to manage and develop the European store portfolio more effectively.
The retailer has recently made two key appointments, with Emma Hobbs joining as Head of UK Acquisitions and Strategy last week, and Mark Tuley arriving as Head of Design, Construction and Facilities earlier this year.
Both Emma and Mark report directly to Nick Martel, Group Property Director Europe, along with two Estates Managers, Mark Jacobs and Lisa Jemmett.
Emma joins GAME from Burger King, where she was Senior Development Manager, responsible for company and franchisee restaurants. Mark Tuley joins from Selfridges department store chain, where he was Head of Facilities Management. Lisa Jemmett has also recently joined from Gap.
Mark Tuley will be responsible for managing the construction and design team, headed by Brian John, as well as the facilities for GAME’s retail estate and its Head Office and Distribution Centre.
Both Mark and Brian will be co-ordinating the other Property teams in France, Spain and Scandinavia, to ensure the Group delivers a consistent brand image across all European markets.
Nick Martel, Group Property Director Europe at GAME said “I’m very pleased to welcome Mark, Emma and Lisa to the business this year. They bring valuable skills and experience to our team as we look to invest and improve our existing network of stores in the UK and Europe, as well as significantly increase our businesses in continental Europe.”
