HOTSPOT KINGSTON UPON HULL
“Our remit was to provide development
strategy services, valuation and investment advice and due diligence. With our knowledge and expertise in the Renewable Energy sector, we were ideally placed to understand Siemens’ requirements..” “The decision to choose Hull as the
factory site will help to make the region a more attractive business prospect for companies that operate in the civil engineering, manufacturing, and renewable energy fields. As a knock-on effect, other industries could benefit in the growing confidence and investment in the region, e.g. legal, retail, and leisure sectors. At a time when there are high levels of unemployment in the region, this development can only be viewed as an opportunity for Hull.” General Electric is set to invest £100m in
a wind turbine factory in Britain and that too, could be in Kingston upon Hull.

Celebrating opportunity, Lime Properties Magued Eldaief, who heads the
company’s UK energy operations, has confirmed GE will announce the site of its new factory “very soon”. Other experts are also delighted by the
Siemens plan. Sam Pick, director of the Renewables Network, said, “The Siemens announcement does help us massively in terms of attracting another major turbine manufacturer such as GE. “The ‘Siemens effect’ will mean that
other companies in the supply chain who will move here as a result; it puts us at a huge advantage. “Although GE’s turbines will be different
to Siemens, many of the components will be the same. These components are huge – the turbines themselves will be bigger than the Humber Bridge, so logistically, it will make sense for companies like GE to locate near to the existing supply chain.” Gareth Russell, who is Business
Development Manager at Associated British Ports, said, “It is clear the Humber offers opportunities to form a cluster for the offshore wind sector.”

Network Auctions has a pub, adjacent retail unit and two flats in their 2nd March sale with a guide price of just £20,000+. Yes, you read that correctly. With over 40 pubs closing every

investment opportunity. The pub provides over 2,500 sq. ft of space, including a cellar – and there is a large hard-standing carpark with access to the adjacent retail unit, which was once the off-licence. Above the pub are two self-
contained flats – a two-bed (c. 450 sq.ft) and a three-bed (c 850 sq ft) – each with a lounge, kitchen and bathroom. The Grange provides an exceptional
opportunity and a rather surprising avenue for its possible future use may also lie in the Government’s encouragement of the ‘Big Society’. This has endorsed pubs as local assets and promises support for communities wishing to save threatened pubs through community ownership. To find out more about The Grange
