“Charles Bowie and Jesse Stewart were an absolute delight to work with on masterplans for our new town centres across three sites in Brisbane and Melbourne. They are smart, insightful, down to earth and commercially minded.
The reports broke the data into bite-size pieces that made it easy to interpret and translate into our designs, feasibilities and leasing strategies. The clever use of graphics made detailed data easy to digest, and easy to convey to our stakeholders. I could not recommend anyone more highly.”

“Charles was contracted to review and provide detailed feedback across our SSP & ARE Brisbane airport retail and specialty food and beverage operations over the last 4 years.
Charles is a pleasure to deal with. His attitude, eye for detail and complete understanding of our difficult environment has been very beneficial to our operation over the past few years.
I would happily recommend Charles to any retail, food and/or beverage operation as one of the leading food retail consultants in Australia.”

“Really happy with the new format retailer review. Some of the things I loved are:
The new interactive format and focus on the guest experience and customer service. The easy to see weighting - easier to understand. The Retailer and Group summary page which shows you where you sit against the asset retailer average.
The ranking system and how you can track progress against the other service providers in the same category.
I love the one-page snapshot for staff communications and expertise by store. The scores associated with each element make it easy to see where improvement is needed and easier for us to talk to our staff about.”

“Charles Bowie is a standout professional that anyone seeking advice in the food space should employ. I have worked with Charles for 6 years across a variety of Westfield assets, and have found his ability to diagnose issues and apply his knowledge to offer rectification advice second to none.
Charles’ skill set in food covers all categories, which has been extremely valuable to me when offering support to retailers in all pockets of the market (and located in a variety of different food precincts).
His engagement with retailers is always well received and his advice always valued. I can personally confirm that Charles has driven positive results from retailers we have introduced him to.
Charles has also assisted our centre management teams with precinct planning for major developments and is always at the forefront of consumer trends / behaviours in the industry. I will continue to employ Charles as my first port of call for any future food retailer support that is required in any of the assets I manage.”

From my many years working with across different organisations Charles’ knowledge has helped formulate centre-wide F&B strategies supported by evidence including a thorough review of a centres’ catchment areas, and customer profile.
Additionally Charles’ enthusiasm for food retailing and insight into customer behaviour is a great resource for existing F&B businesses seeking to identify areas of improvement and opportunity ensuring long term sustainability of their business.”
