Across the UK there exists a growing breed of purpose built business location. Based on Silicon Valley campus-style layouts with a singularly British twist, technology parks are fast becoming the most desirable locations for both established and up and coming businesses alike. Cody Technology Park is a great example of this structure.
The buildings offered within the park range from offices to labs, storage and data centre facilities. It is a campus that benefits from unrivalled amenities and security. There’s a vast range of size and variety of space that enables start ups to rub shoulders with old timers. When both parties can benefit from this close proximity, there is huge development potential that adds further value to working within this environment.
Where is it?
Nestled in Hampshire amongst leafy surroundings between Farnborough and Fleet, the location of Cody Technology Park is an unique combination of accessibility and tranquility. There’s a subsidised shuttle bus that runs from Farnborough station during commuter hours and substantial car parking capability. So workers, visitors and clients all benefit from close proximity both to the M3 and to the rail network running across the south from London Waterloo.
Who’s There?
A lot can be divined from the organisations that have chosen to make Cody Technology Park their professional home.
