GRO Retail Autumn 2025 brought together leading voices in retail property, from landlords and agents to developers and operators. Conversations often centred on innovation, with stakeholders exploring how smarter technology can reshape retail property and deliver long-term value.
As active participants, we welcomed the chance to share our perspective and contribute to the conversations shaping the future of the retail sector. You can learn more about the event on the official GRO Retail website.
We demonstrated the Hozah Ecosystem, our complete solution that removes friction from parking, reduces operational burden and delivers measurable commercial results. From barrierless entry to seamless Autopay, we showed how parking can operate quietly in the background, enhancing the customer journey while improving operator efficiency.
We also highlighted how our data insights provide operators with the visibility they need to make smarter decisions across their estates, from pricing strategies to space utilisation.
Proven results from projects such as our Grosvenor Shopping Centre case study, showed how the Hozah Ecosystem increased dwell times, boosted revenue and created a smoother visitor experience. These conversations gave us the chance to demonstrate how our technology aligns with the priorities of landlords and operators, from driving revenue growth to strengthening customer satisfaction.
Our discussions at GRO Retail highlighted several important themes for the sector:
These conversations reinforced our mission to deliver solutions that meet today’s retail challenges while supporting long-term growth.
It was a pleasure to meet so many new faces at GRO Retail and reconnect with our existing partners. Our stand was busy throughout the event, with live discussions, product demonstrations and meaningful conversations about the future of retail parking management.
If you were not able to visit the event or did not get the chance to visit our stand, it’s not too late to connect. Our team would be happy to discuss how Hozah can support your retail property strategy.
Hozah are excited to build on the momentum for GRO Retail 2025 and to continue working together to shape the future of retail parking.

When fewer shoppers visit, every visit counts more. April footfall data shows UK retail down 10.7% year-on-year — a five-year low. After adjusting for Easter timing, the underlying decline is 3.9%. For retail destinations, that means extracting more value from every visit that does occur.
