North-east’s newest business park welcomes first tenant
A firm is set to create five new jobs after becoming the first tenant to take up residence in the North-east’s newest business park.
Inverurie Paint & Body Repair Centre has occupied new premises at Thainstone Business Park.
The park is a collaboration between leading memberowned co-operative ANM Group and family-owned commercial property developers GSS Developments.
The facility’s creation is being hailed as a major boost for the local economy and one which further highlights the area’s premier position, attracting new businesses to the area with access to modern high-spec premises and some of the city and shire’s main transport links.
ANM Group Executive Support Manager, Avril McLeod, said: “We are delighted to welcome new tenant Inverurie Paint & Body Repair Centre as it expands its business operations to Thainstone.
“Despite the ongoing challenges currently faced by many companies, our investment in the park positively impacts the North-east economy, and underpins the demand for new premises, as businesses seek to reduce costs operating from multiple ageing sites which are no longer efficient and fit for purpose.”
RGU launch inclusive wheelchair basketball team for North-east students
Robert Gordon University (RGU) is launching its first ever wheelchair basketball team thanks to a collaborative approach with key partners.
RGU SPORT, Scottish Disability Sport (SDS), Grampian Flyers and the University’s Disability Sport Working Group have secured £15,000 funding from Morrisons Foundation for the purchase of ten sport wheelchairs, with the hope that this will open the sport up to a new audience in the North-east.
Sessions will be hosted at RGU SPORT and students from any higher or further education institutions are welcome to sign-up and be involved, a first for the region.
Rory Anton, Club Development Officer at RGU SPORT, said: “This investment is extremely positive for the region and also highlights the positive opportunities that have become possible through great partnership working from the Disability Sport Working Group at RGU.
“We hope this will positively impact the student community in the city and aim for this to be the first of many programmes like it.”
