One of the most difficult decisions to take when running a successful business is how and when to expand or grow. Is it best to invest in addtional staff, or equipment, larger / additional premises or all three? All of these steps involve significant commitment in terms of time and finances and always create doubts and concerns as to the best way to achieve the best result. Often these doubts increase to such an extent that nothing is done and businesses continue to struggle with insuffcient resources for the quantity of work being generated. London & Westcountry Estates try and ease the process of both new and existing tenants when it comes to increasing the amount of space occupied. By being able to provide a range of unit sizes across the South West they are usually able to find a suitable building for any businesses needs. Ian le Grice, Estates Manager comments "Particularly with existing tenants, our ability to allow the phased occupation of buildings means business can continue and the costs and disruption assocaited with a move are minimized. It is also a significant benefit to start up businesses knowing that future flexibility exists should their business expand rapidly. We are currently in the process of relocating a tenant from a unit of 800 sq.ft for which they have occupied for less than a year to a unit of almost 8,000 sq.ft and through close liason we are ensuring a smooth transition of an extremley busy tenant, a function performed on a regular basis. Therefore any businesses looking to expand or establish new premises elsewhere in the South West, London & Westcountry Estates would be delighted to hear from you.
