Work has started to connect the old HSBC bank premises at 13 High Street to Creasey\u2019s department store at 15 \u2013 19 High Street in Guernsey.<\/p>\n

The \u00a310m. project will create a modern, fit-for-purpose retail proposition in the centre of St Peter Port. It will allow the family-run business to bring in more brands and choice to its customers, as well as creating new job opportunities.<\/p>\n

Main contractor Rihoy & Son have been on site from 3 July 2023. Initially, the contractor\u2019s team will be working on the fifth floor (staff floor) and the fourth floor, where the current Coffee Shop is located. The Coffee Shop will close on 8 July 2023, although the company\u2019s coffee shop in its Smith Street Home Store will remain open.<\/p>\n

Scaffolding will be erected after the Island Games has finished. It will completely envelop 13 High Street, the Quayside fa\u00e7ade and part of the roof of 15 \u2013 21 High Street. Once in place, demolition and rebuild of 13 High Street will begin.<\/p>\n

The project is expected to take three years before all areas are completed.<\/p>\n

General manager Stephen Mewha has been given the brief to deliver the store expansion. Mr Mewha joined Creasey\u2019s in August 2022, after a 30-year career running premium department stores across the UK and Ireland for Debenhams and House of Fraser. He brings his knowledge and experience of delivering the brand strategy in House of Fraser\u2019s flagship store in Belfast, including brands such as Jo Malone, Mulberry, Chanel, Charlotte Tilbury and Nars.<\/p>\n

\n

Mr Mewha said: \u2018I am absolutely delighted to be on the beautiful island of Guernsey and working with the directors of Creasey\u2019s. I look forward to developing the new department store concept and introducing some amazing brands to the island.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Creasey\u2019s managing director Mr Peter Creasey said: \u2018The Creasey family has always taken every opportunity to reinvest in the business and the current directors are continuing to follow that path. In the mid \u201880s we extensively rebuilt our main premises at 15-19 High Street. Today we are about to embark on an even more ambitious project, which will deliver stunning retail premises fit for the 21st century, complete with escalators, a lift and level floors throughout to make shopping as easy as possible for everyone.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are delighted to be working with Rihoy & Son on this project, another long-established local family business. It will be a complex and long job, but we will continue to trade as normally as possible throughout. We have been planning this for a such a long time and I can\u2019t wait to get started.\u2019<\/p>\n

Creasey\u2019s director Mr Jonathan Creasey said: \u2018The first contact with the architects was in 2017, and since then a lot has happened. Covid was a black cloud over retail, which created serious doubts about the viability of such a significant multi-million-pound project. However, as a locally owned family business, we\u2019re committed to doing as much as we can to ensure the continued vibrancy of Guernsey\u2019s High Street which has been at the heart of our business since 1899.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018The post-Covid era has reaffirmed the importance of the High Street as a community hub, a place to shop, eat and drink, and bring people together.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dan Taylor, Managing Director of Rihoy & Son, commented, \u201cWe are looking forward to realising Creasey\u2019s vision and delivering the most significant construction project the Guernsey High Street has seen in recent times. Our project team has worked together with Creasey\u2019s client team to phase the works around the technical and logistical constraints of the site and minimise disruption to customers and Town users in general.\u201d He adds: \u201cWe are excited to be part of enhancing our island\u2019s town centre.\u201d<\/p>\n
