WHY INVEST IN SCOTLAND
|
More than 1,500 companies have already chosen to invest in Scotland largely due to the skills base of a highly educated workforce, the transport and telecommunications infrastructure, and a whole range of other business benefits.
Scotland offers unique benefits across a number of industries and sectors, and can provide tailor-made locations and accommodation for all sizes of ventures with the scope to grow and develop.
Scotland´s property market is outperforming London´s, according to latest figures. House prices are dropping in the UK capital but are steady in Scotland, a survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) found.
Why Invest In Glasgow
Glasgow will be hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games
Glasgow, with a population of around 600,000, is Scotland´s largest city and is the commercial capital of Scotland. It is the UK´s largest retail centre after London
Situated in the Central Belt of Scotland on the west coast it is easily accessible by road, rail and air
Glasgow is one of Europe´s top 20 financial centers and is home to many of Scotland´s leading businesses
A difference in Scottish regulation allows for only a 2%-3% ´reservation deposit´ rather than the usual 10% in England
Economical and regeneration prospects of Glasgow, for example, £100 million investment into the ´forgotten harbor´.
Regeneration
Much more is in store in terms of ambition for Glasgow. The 2014 Commonwealth Games can inspire not only Glasgow but the whole of Scotland.
Examples of regeneration projects in the pipeline:
The Glasgow Airport Rail Link – currently subject to Parliamentary timetable and approval will bring an estimated 52,500 additional UK and overseas visitors and contribute towards £10m in additional visitor expenditure every year to Glasgow
Glasgow Harbour – with an investment proposal of £250m, 2,000 leisure jobs will be created
Scottish Exhibition and conference centre – with an investment proposal of £162m and the creation of 1,221 fulltime jobs and 400 part time jobs.
Economy
Glasgow, Scotland´s largest city is the epitome of urban fashion with the biggest retail centre in the UK outside of London. Glasgow has the shops, the galleries, the restaurants, and the nightlife to rival any city in northern Europe. There are also a plethora of higher education centers in Glasgow. As well as the internationally renowned Glasgow University, Strathclyde University, Caledonian University and the Royal Scottish College of Music and Drama also close by. These, in addition to the newly Victoria Infirmary Hospital getting built, should ensure a steady stream of potential tenants. A large number of major commercial and call centre complexes, including Dell Computers, BT, Lloyds TSB, Morgan Stanley, NTL and Scottish Power are nearby. Demand has been consistently high for good quality accommodation.
