About Us

Where community meets commerce

As well as today, we think about tomorrow, and take brave steps towards carving a better one. We keep our finger on the pulse and stay ahead of the game, blending innovation with expertise. Explore below how we want to leave a positive footprint on the world we live in.

Our vision

Our ethos is simple, working together in partnership. We are flexible in our approach and look to work in tandem with the local communities in bringing them a quality event, outdoor or indoor market. Excellent market delivery has been implemented by Geraud over the years throughout its many contracts and events. Geraud will improve the quality and operational delivery of better market days, through direct management of day to day operations without the need for reliance on third party sub-contractors.

Working with our talented traders, we aim to provide the public with an exciting and vast selection of products and services in every market and event we put our name to. We provide a unique shopping experience for the public and add significant value to town centres by increasing footfall and adding vibrancy and intrigue.

Our values

Trusted

Over 20 years in the UK retail industry, and a 100+ year legacy in Europe, means we know a thing or two about looking after markets and their communities. Because we’re committed to our traders, they can be committed to their customers.

Empowering

We make trade smarter and easier for independent businesses, giving them the tools to do what they need to do. They don’t need us to hold their hand but we’re always there for advice and support – like a partner.

Welcoming

Our markets do more than the obvious. They’re social and cultural centres, ways to spend the morning, afternoon, and night, and places to catch up and reconnect with friends. Shoppers will find creativity, theatre, atmosphere, and new flavours.

Diverse

We get excited about new traders, new cultures, and new energy. Our history has given us unique insight into shopping cultures across Europe, so we know exactly what makes a market special. Our team is motivated not just to keep the British high street alive, but to help it grow.

Pioneering

We think about the future, and take brave steps towards carving a better one. We keep our finger on the pulse and stay ahead of the game, blending innovation with expertise.

Further to this, we want to leave a positive footprint on the world we live in.
