Hughmark Continental, one of the country’s leading market management experts, runs Grays Market and it is very much a working progress. The main thing for the market was to survive the impact of the gravitation to the huge Shopping Centre at lakeside, which it achieved. The next stage for Grays over the next couple of years will be to improve the look of the market and add a greater variety of stalls. Something Hughmark Continental is very positive about doing. The town centre partnership and Hughmark work closely together and are always looking at ideas to help the market and boost footfall. This has included bringing in themed markets such as French and Italian, as well as looking at new themes such as ‘A Made in Essex’ themed market. The idea of this particular market would be to give local people the chance to make and sell their own products at the market and see what it is like to be a market trader, which could potentially lead to them wanting to stand at the general market. Another idea they are looking at doing in the summer is ‘Street Entertainer of the Year’
