Iain Nicholson

Associate Partner

Iain Nicholson is an enthusiastic and experienced place manager with a strong track record of effective working across a range of town centres.

His key skills include focusing on the challenges around bringing empty town centre units back into use, working closely with business owners to strengthen their operations and using his social media and PR skills to promote places as a whole, whilst also publicising the businesses and organisations within them.

Iain has been a key player in several projects that have won national Great British High Street Awards recognition, plays an active part in the wider #highstreet debate, contributing ideas, articles and comment to discussion of its issues, including regularly hosting the national #indiehour forum on Twitter.

Iain believes very much in a team and partnership approach and brings to Heartflood the ability to mobilise people in working together to make a difference.

“Heartflood were there when we needed them, quick to positively respond to queries, demands – and indeed anything we placed before them. The Heartflood people became a real asset, and a proper part of the BID team.”

“We have worked closely with Heartflood since the original development stages of our BID in 2018, with them recently working with us to secure a successful second term. We have always found them to be both attentive to our requirements and able to advise and guide us in a timely and expert manner.”

"We were extremely pleased with the work that was carried out by Heartflood, the consultation responses, the comprehensive report evaluation, and the best practice that was recommended. I would highly recommend Heartflood.”

“The Heartflood team supported a vibrancy project for Dudley town centre and we received a comprehensive set of recommendations which we have successfully started to implement. We were very impressed with the approach taken, including excellent levels of stakeholder engagement & liaison.”

“Heartflood undertook a major project across East Hampshire & Havant, which included a review of 16 town centres, and we were very impressed with both the work of the team and the series of expert recommendations which we received.”

“Heartflood recently carried out two projects for the District Council and we found the team to be knowledgeable, adaptable to our requirements and willing to spend a good degree of time on site, all of which helped us achieve a positive outcome.”
