It is all about teamwork and I am delighted to accept the honour on behalf of our outstanding team of passionate people dedicated to advancing with our ambitious plans for a new quarter of the city. Through our construction and development team, our speculative office development 1 New Park Square is being built and our planning application for Parabola’s vision for Edinburgh Park is set to be determined later this year. We have a wonderful opportunity now to deliver an exemplar community so desperately needed by the city – it is such a fitting tribute to be awarded as a Business Hero as a recognition of the dedication and hard work of our team.”
