''The area is attracting many large corporate organisations like our own, who themselves look for high specification, innovation and good value in their offices. By coming to Kent we have not only demonstrated our commitment to the region but also, in conjunction with our partners, provided a very attractive shop window for the property and construction industries.'' Ray O’Rourke, Chief Executive, Laing O’Rourke.
