HILLINGTON PARK IN LINE FOR AWARD

Hillington Park, Scotland's largest business location and home to over 350 enterprises, has been transformed over the past ten years, as anyone who has visited the estate recently will testify.

Now the Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce has shortlisted the company responsible for leading the improvements, MEPC Hillington Park, for one of its annual 'ROCCO' awards, the 'Oscars' of the local business community.

MEPC Hillington Park is one of three potential winners of the ROCCO Award for 'Outstanding Performing Business in Renfrewshire with fewer than 25 full-time employees'.
The shortlist for the award, sponsored by Rock Radio, also lists one of the residents of the Hillington Park Innovation Centre, which has won wide-ranging praise for its own innovative structure and successful business model.

MEPC Hillington Park has itself sponsored one of the other awards. With its emphasis on sustainability and environmental best practice, the principal developers and operators of the majority of the estate sponsors the Renfrewshire Chamber's 'Best Environmental Performance' award.

Grant Edmondson, chief executive of MEPC Hillington Park, said: "We have had a very successful period at Hillington Park, as our development programme has enabled us to out-perform the market.

"We would be even more pleased if we ourselves were to win the Outstanding Performance Business award, which we would regard as the pinnacle of recognition."

Research finds Scottish office market holding up well

GVA Grimley research finds Scottish office market holding up well

New research from property adviser GVA Grimley suggests that the demand for office space in Scotland continues to be strong, despite the current economic downturn.

The firm's latest Market Report Scotland suggests the office market in Aberdeen is outperforming those in Edinburgh and Glasgow. However, market confidence in the capital has been enhanced by recent deals, including that which saw Morton Fraser take 40,000 sq ft of space at Quartermile, while development activity in Glasgow remains high.

Hillington Park MD’s marathon success

Grant Edmondson, managing director of MEPC Hillington Park, recently completed his first marathon in Copenhagen to raise funds for Endometriosis UK, a charity which helps those affected by endometriosis, the chronic and debilitating disease affecting two million women in the UK.

Grant set himself the challenge at the start of the year to improve his own fitness and realise a long-held ambition of running a marathon. He chose to raise sponsorship in aid of Endometriosis UK as his wife suffers from the disease. As well as raising general awareness of the disease through his contacts in the business community, Grant has raised over £5,400 for the charity.

His finishing time was 3.11.42.

“I’m really pleased with how both the race and the fundraising went,” said Grant. “It just shows that if you put in the hard work early on, it makes the challenge more enjoyable and rewarding. People were incredibly generous in their support. I’m now looking forward my next marathon!”
