Orbit Developments was last year’s winner of this award – why not take a moment to read what their Divisional Director Dennis Dwyer said about what winning meant for their Merseyside team.
“We are delighted to win Commercial Development of the Year at Knowsley Business Awards 2018. It’s a fantastic accolade for the building and we’re so proud to receive recognition for our hard work and investment into the area.”
“This first phase of development at Academy Business Park, Knowsley has been carried out to satisfy the growing demand within the North West for this type and size of property. A second phase of development is already planned of an identical size and we look forward to moving on shortly to this next stream of development”
