Andrew Lodge Estate Agents Supporting New Initiative Looking To Attract Inward Investment to Farnham
A new initiative aimed at drawing new businesses and inward investment to Farnham has been launched, funded by local companies, including Andrew Lodge Estate Agents, with the shared interest of promoting the town..
The project, entitled ‘Farnham Open for Business’, was conceived to promote the town as a location for business and as an attractive place to live and was the brainchild of Geoff Reeve of commercial property firm Wadham & Isherwood, who said: “Generally speaking, as a commercial centre, Farnham has fared better than other towns during the recession. However, if the town is to emerge from the difficult economic conditions in a strong position it is, we feel, vital to attract new businesses and new investment to the town.
“Experience tells us that while the decision making process when choosing a new location for a company expansion or relocation is focused upon the availability of suitable commercial property, it is also influenced by other factors such as the availability of suitable homes for staff, schooling for their children and the lifestyle that can be expected. The idea behind the Farnham Open for Business website was to bring all of these factors together in one place and to illustrate the opportunities that the town offers to entrepreneurs and those looking to grow or relocate their businesses. At the same time we wanted to highlight the homes, facilities and services that are available to residents, organisations and their staff.
“In short we wanted to show that Farnham is a great place to work, live and play.”
Andrew Lodge, said: “Andrew Lodge Estate Agents fully supports this exciting initiative in promoting Farnham as the destination for businesses and their employees to be. To live and work in an attractive town like Farnham with its outstanding heritage, shops, schools, leisure facilities, communications and countryside is an experience not to miss.”
“We often receive enquiries from house hunters looking to relocate to the area either because their employer is moving or because they want to improve their work/life balance” he added.
In addition to providing lists of available commercial properties in the town, the initiative’s website, which can be found at: www.gu9.biz, provides information and links to locals schools, sports clubs, leisure facilities, restaurants and local attractions.
The Farnham Open for Business website, built by Revolution Public Relations, has been sponsored by a number of local companies and organisations including: Andrew Lodge, Tindle Newspapers; Wise & Co; Callaghans; and Barringtons Solicitors.
