Our strong market position and reputation on the M42 Corridor enables us to clearly understand occupiers\u2019 needs and address a current shortage of similar scale units in the local area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvidence shows that industrial space across Bromsgrove district is currently severely undersupplied. There is very limited immediate availability despite strong demand from businesses looking to locate or expand in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFigures also suggest a significant proportion of Bromsgrove residents currently travel outside the district for work. Providing modern employment space locally would help support business growth while creating opportunities closer to home for local
