Merlin Business Centre, located in the west of Scotland’s largest business park, is already home to 30 small businesses.
Two of the offices have already been snapped up by companies Etellect and Koopman International.
The recently refurbished third floor has been converted into individual suites with a shared kitchen and an informal networking space.
The offices are a welcome addition to Merlin Business Centre which is one of the most sought after locations within Hillington Park due to its prominent position and easy access to the M8 motorway.
The new suites range in size from 205 sq ft to accommodate two to three people, to a larger 786 sq ft which can be used for up to eight people.
“We felt this was the perfect opportunity to expand Merlin Business Centre to meet demand at this location,” says Alison Clark, MEPC Marketing and Customer Manager. “All eighteen offices in the fully managed business centre provide small companies with the platform to grow their businesses and, with the environment generated at Merlin with other businesses, there is a real feeling of belonging. These new suites will further enhance Merlin Business Centre and Hillington Park overall as a perfect location for ambitious businesses.”
Etellect has a long association with Hillington Park; the company has moved several times within Hillington Park as the company has expanded and developed. Now, going through another period of growth, the specialist eCommerce and eBusiness consultancy has taken up residence in one of Merlin’s new offices.
The company offers clients a comprehensive and tailored eBusiness consultancy service and suggests how their business can become more profitable by embracing technology.
Julia Lavelle, Director at Etellect said: “Etellect have enjoyed a long relationship with Hillington Park and our move to Merlin Business Centre allows us to enjoy all the benefits of a serviced office at a price that is affordable to our business. With clients all across central Scotland the access to the motorway and good public transport links are essential and allows us to be as accessible as possible to our clients. MEPC have been very accommodating with our requirements and have made this move as pain free as possible.”
Koopman International B.V is the largest importer and distributor of non-food goods in Europe. The Dutch, family run company has been established since 1937 and its Scottish base has relocated to the Merlin Business Centre as it provides them easy access to both the motorway and airport.
Sean Campbell of Koopman said: “Our business model is to take prospective UK buyers across to our showroom in Amsterdam to show them the full ranges of our items, and so we have to fly over every other week. Being based in Merlin Business Centre is perfect for us as it’s not only close to the motorway for when we have to drive to England, but also it’s merely minutes away from the airport. Our office is fully managed also which is a huge benefit and the view is a nice bonus.”
As Scotland’s largest and most established business park, Hillington Park is a safe, well maintained environment with two train stations, two minutes from the motorway and two miles from Glasgow’s International Airport. The on-site Park service team has the flexibility to meet all workspace requirements and are committed to creating long-term relationships where a business can grow, succeed and belong.
In 2011 the Park won a ‘Biodiversity Benchmark’ from the Wildlife Trusts, becoming the first business park in Britain to be recognised for the quality of its environmental management.
MEPC manages some of the UK’s best known commercial property. With a £1bn portfolio, it is a leader in its field with eight Business Estates in prime locations throughout the UK. Together it provides over 10m sq. ft. of high quality space for more than 1,000 organisations, employing 20,000 people.
