Northern Powerhouse Partner programme adds 'leading' property giant to cohort

Regional property and investment company UK Land Estates is the latest to sign up to the government’s Northern Powerhouse Partner programme.

UK Land Estates will be part of the network of organisations that will help promote the strengths and achievements of the North.

The company has 800 clients across its estates, from small local SMEs to multinationals and household names including Premier Inn, WH Smith and Greggs.

With a land bank of over 180 acres, the organisation is also well placed to build bespoke properties to meet business demands. 

Keith Taylor, managing director at UK Land Estates, said: “We have always been vocal about our commitment to growing the northern economy and support of the Northern Powerhouse initiative, so we are honoured to be announced as a Northern Powerhouse Partner.

“The partner programme champions talent in the region and is a great platform for like-minded businesses to network, connect and develop.

“We are sure that this initiative will help attract investment to the North and are looking forward to being a part of the driving force that helps our region prosper in the years to come.”

The partnership aligns with the UK Land Estates’ ambition to encourage local authorities to invest in established business parks in the region, in order to grow business clusters and boost the regional economy.
