A number of our past clients have been kind enough to provide testimonials..

Over recent years we have employed the services of East West Locations to undertake Location Reviews on two of our major landholding areas at Salford Quays and Trafford Quays not to mention the several Business Park schemes we are currently rolling out across the country (and our airport portfolio) .. the reviews are an essential tool to marketing and instilling confidence in what are destinations of continued developments.

Since our first instructions to EWL we have secured lettings to Marks & Spencer, JT International, Securicor, SSL International, Ceridian Centrefile and BUPA, and on each occasion the information provided has proved invaluable in meeting the ever increasing requirements of these occupiers.

Mark Whittaker. Director of Investments, Peel Developments

Having a prominent site available for commercial development for a range of uses on a main road frontage in a suburb of Birmingham, we commissioned a Location Review from EWL to help occupiers in assessing the benefits and characteristics of the location and its workforce.

The Review has proven to be a valuable marketing tool in the promotion of the site - a number of occupiers with whom we had previously spoken had requested data on the demographics [and] we are now able to quickly provide this valuable information. Previously we were not able to answer their queries, leaving the potential occupiers to have to carry out their own research at their cost and causing delays in negotiations.

Jane Leedham, Slough Estates International
 
NWDA required detailed demographic analysis for a large inward investment project, expertise that was not available in-house.

East West offered something very different that the usual sources could not provide, namely the journey to work (JTWA) calculation on population instead of the traditional electoral boundary approach. This provided a better reflection of the size and strengths of several key cities in the North West, so putting forward a more attractive proposition to the potential investor.

East West were involved throughout the project, supporting the Agency, various stakeholders in the region and adding real value to the key outputs. They effectively became part of the project team and helped to secure the opportunity for the North West.

Stephen Fitzsimons, North West Development Agency

EWL's excellent demographic analysis and location reports have helped us demonstrate the business case for investment into the Liverpool Region to great effect over the past three years. As the availability of people is the key determining factor in many investment decisions, having an authoritative source of information about people in your area is a must have.
Mark Basnett, Director - Inward Investment, The Mersey Partnership

I have used EWL's research on a number of occasions since 2002. Each time they have produced high quality outputs, presenting the essential messages of an area in a user-friendly style that we have used with existing businesses and potential investors. EWL have always met deadlines and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Eric Hill, Manager - Leeds City Growth Area, Leeds City Council
