"We identified Telford as the ideal location for our growing business. The Team gave us easy access to all the information and advice we needed, in particular when looking for suitable premises. Without them we have no doubt that the whole process would have taken much longer. Everyone we dealt with was extremely helpful and supportive and we look forward to continuing our relationship as we develop our business."

"Being based in Telford has enabled us to manage rapid business growth through access to a workforce with specific polymer skills, networking with other firms in the polymer industry and accessing support services of organisations like the Polymer Cluster and RAPRA".

Nom Dairy (UK) Ltd
"We chose Shropshire because it's a great location to source lots of the high quality milk needed for our recipes and Telford also represents a fairly central location to supply the UK and Ireland without running up too many food miles. Shropshire is also a leading county for dairy products, so we've been able to recruit lots of people with the relevant skills."

"We chose to base our business in Telford because the Town offered excellent opportunities for growth. From one office with 5 employees the company has grown to over 100 employees. Our new headquarters, at Euston Way, provide us with room to expand; an accessible location and business costs are extremely competitive compared to other towns."

"The fact that Building Technologies and in particular the offsite manufacturing sector as a key growth sector shows foresight and vision. Clearly the Telford area is well placed to take full advantage of the opportunities for growth in offsite manufacturing businesses by using its existing business infrastructure and links with Regional R&D organisations. We believe that the area presents a potential 'hot-spot' for the offsite sector as it matures into a 'worldclass manufacturing' industry."

"In Telford we found a central location, a good communications and transport network and an established business location. In addition we were able to find the right property at the right price which will enable us to grow as and when we need and from a personal point of view the area is a nice place to relocate to."

"We based our operations in Telford because the town offered strong business support, good communications, a central location and a rapidly growing business community and population. Over the last 20 years we have expanded with not only our head office in Telford but a further 10 offices throughout England, ranging from Leeds and Manchester in the North to Bristol, Milton Keynes and London in the South. Telford remains our base however because it offers a more competitive package. This is in terms of employment costs, availability of staff and a central location that allows head office staff to visit other offices easily."

"With plans for 20,000 new homes, Telford is a major growth point in the West Midlands. This will offer major opportunities for the building technologies and construction sectors in the next decade."
