Shield Retail Centre

Filton, Bristol

The Shield Retail Centre is prominently positioned in Filton, north-west Bristol, at the junction of the A38 and A4174 Avon Ring Road, benefiting from approximately 46,500 daily traffic movements and excellent connectivity to both the M5 and M32 motorways.

The centre serves a substantial catchment, with approximately 75,000 residents living within a 2.5-mile radius. It also benefits from proximity to major employers including BAE Systems, Airbus, GKN Aerospace and Rolls-Royce, together employing around 12,000 people, alongside SGS College with approximately 9,000 students.

Carter Jonas has acted as letting agent for the scheme since 2019, supporting the ongoing success of this established retail destination.

60,000 sq ft

The centre provides approximately 60,000 sq ft of retail accommodation and is home to a strong mix of occupiers including Home Bargains, Snow+Rock, Farm Foods and Dreams, together with a 63-bedroom Premier Inn and KFC drive-thru restaurant.

Recent leasing activity has included the subdivision of the former Brewers Fayre unit to accommodate Specsavers and Cobra Coffee trading as Starbucks, alongside a further letting to Consol Sun Centres. These transactions have strengthened the centre's tenant line-up and enhanced the retail offer available to the local community.
