| BANKING ON SUCCESS WITH HF DEVELOPMENTS Following
the resounding success of a pilot workplace banking scheme at Strathclyde Business
Park and Hamilton International Park, both locations have been incorporated into
the RBS Mobile Banking network. The RBS pilot, which ran from March-October
of this year, trialled a variety of locations, including Ikea, Eurocental and
Sky, alongside both Hamilton International and Strathclyde Business Parks. Despite
the proximity of RBS branches in both Bellshill and Hamilton, the convenience
of an on-site service proved very popular with the Park occupiers. Following the
end of pilot review, the two Parks were identified as the only successful locations,
and have been incorporated into the Lanark mobile banking route. The bus
provides services for Hamilton International Park’s 4,200 staff every Thursday,
and for the 6,000 staff employed at Strathclyde Business Park each Wednesday,
located at each Park’s retail parade. HFD’s Development Director
Stephen Lewis commented: “With over 10,000 people employed across 300 companies
at our Business Parks it’s no wonder the pilot has been most successful in
these locations. A successful location is about people and providing services
and amenities that people need and want. “We continue to work closely
with our occupiers to identify further opportunities to enhance our range of on
site services, and we’re delighted to continue our partnership with RBS.”
