Responding to this week’s TechNation report, which analyses the UK’s digital technology sector, Jeremy Richards, head of JLL’s Bristol office, said:
“As digital technology continues to play a major role in the regional economy, the demand for space from this sector continues to dominate the commercial property scene as well. Demand from businesses in the technology, media and telecommunications sector accounted for around 25 per cent of office space taken up in 2015 and we will see a similar story over the course of the next 12 months.
“The report shows that creating collaborative spaces is something which the region does really well and companies value this too, so there is a big opportunity for Bristol & Bath to capitalise on this with the development of more tech-style hubs which support and grow this nationally important cluster.”
