Agents responsible for negotiating the new tenancy deals, Morgan Ruig of Cushman Wakefield and Gibson Leembruggen of JLL, said both parties were drawn to Geebung Industrial Park based on its ease of access and connectivity to the major arterial routes including the Gateway Motorway and connections to the port, airport and CBD - all crucial to both businesses' operations.

🌍 Not Every Meeting Achieves the Initial Goal—But It Can Still Be Valuable 🏗️ This week, we met with a potential client whose vans, scaffolding, and cranes are a familiar sight across Scotland and the North of England. Having been involved in the construction of some of Manchester, Glasgow, and Leeds’ most iconic buildings, their work has helped shape the urban landscape for over 15 years. As their focus is on fitting and managing projects—using designs developed by external teams—they aren’t currently eligible for R&D relief or grants. However, through our discussions, we identified potential routes to complement their strategic inward investment. The client is now exploring the possibility of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) to bring in engineering talent and grow their in-house design capabilities, potentially unlocking new opportunities with funding support to reduce financial risk. 🚀 Sometimes, the meeting doesn’t go as planned, but it opens up new possibilities for long-term growth. #Construction #Architecture #BusinessGrowth #ArchitecturalInnovation #StrategicInvestment #KTP #Glasgow #Manchester #Leeds #Scotland #NorthOfEngland
