With this experience comes a thorough understanding of the Large Format Retail market not only in Perth but on a national level. Jeff ensures he regularly visits the Eastern states not only to build on his already existing relationships with investors and national Large Format retailers such as Harvey Norman, JB Hi Fi, Freedom, The Good Guys, Spotlight, Anaconda, Super Amart and Super Retail but also to keep abreast of developments in the Large Format Retail industry in QLD, NSW, SA and Victoria.
