Nigel Brown, the park’s managing director, said: “The event gave us the opportunity to let people see what sits beyond our gates – the biggest surprise for most, is the number of companies who have their businesses based here.

“Our focus moving forward, is very much about being more open, inclusive and engaging and that’s why we’ve used this occasion to share some of our ideas for growing the park.”

“It’s the diverse mix of companies that live here, that gives the Business Park its vibrancy and energy, which people love.

Eleanor Elliott, HR Director at TruFrame said: “You can’t help but be impressed by the number of companies working out of the park, and how many are pushing for growth and new opportunities.”
