Welcome to Move Commercial As we bring you the latest from the North West’s commercial property and business sectors once again, we have big news of our own to announce. Move Commercial will now bring you the usual dose of industry analysis, debate, event coverage, developments and big business names more often, as we become a monthly publication. So with that in mind, what better time to launch some
fantastic new features too. Along with all your favourites, in this new issue we catch up with ISG Construction’s managing director, Alan McCarthy-Wyper for a lunch date, and The North West Fund shares its secrets to success. Plus we look at how one of the region’s biggest construction schemes, the new Royal Liverpool University Hospital, is shaping up over time.
