2 3421 Ro Bowesfield Park Bro 12/3/04 2:22 PM Page 3 ROOM TO WORK. ROOM TO LIVE. ROOM TO PLAY. ROOM TO GROW. Take a deep breath, and stretch out. Watch your business thrive and expand; your children grow and explore; your life relax and unfold. Welcome to a riverside community of vibrant diversity. A living, working and leisure environment where each complementary element adds richness and value to the others, set in a gentle meander on the west bank of the River Tees. Wake up on a spring morning to the music of the dawn chorus from the 15 hectare (37 acre) wildlife conservation area on your doorstep. Forget the rush hour and walk to work in minutes. De-stress during your break with a stroll along the river or around the conservation area, on the edge of the business park. Bowesfield is more than a development. It is more than a conservation project. It is the realisation of a vision. Your vision, of a better quality of life for all.

Did you arrive in a good mood because the rush-hour battle had been replaced by a ten-minute stroll? Did you bang your head against bricks and mortar or find inspiration in trees and water? When you had to watch your step in your lunch hour, was it to avoid the chewing-gum, or the wild flowers? Little things, sure, but things that make the difference between working to live and living to work. There is an easy way to get the balance right. Quality of life and quality of service. Contemporary architecture and design in stress-free surroundings. Business at Bowesfield. A WORKING ENVIRONMENT THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE.

Imagine arriving at work every day relaxed, inspired and ready to do business. Imagine your people had more space to think and your business room to grow. The business quarter at Bowesfield offers the perfect conditions in which to make the most of your business and its people. Benefiting from excellent infrastructure and communication links, it is skirted to the north and west by the A66 and the new South Stockton link road, to the south by the residential and leisure quarter to the west by the A19, and to the east by the vibrant River Tees, and wildlife conservation area. This sustainable community features cycleways, footpaths and public transport infrastructure, making jobs here highly accessible to residents of nearby Stockton-on-Tees and Ingleby Barwick. The ecological theme extends through to the business quarter to provide a rich landscaped setting for the 11 hectares (27 acres) of potential office space, ideal as a prestigious location for head office accommodation. Development opportunities for the leisure industry are also provided to make the community a self-serving environment. All offer ample parking in landscaped grounds and excellent access on foot to the adjacent wildlife conservation area and river amenities. Boundless possibilities come as standard.

All the benefits of a country childhood, within easy reach of the city. Up with the larks to look for tadpoles. Then off to the cinema in town to catch the latest blockbuster. New homes, new friends, a new bedroom in which to sleep the sound sleep of someone who s been running around in the fresh air all day (and a bit of peace and quiet for mum and dad too). ALL THE GROWING ROOM A FAMILY NEEDS.

BY ROAD, BY RAIL, BY SEA, BY AIR. EASY. YOUR WORKFORCE Teesside has a workforce of over 250,000 people. Over 75% of those employed are within the service sector. Teesside has one of the lowest labour turnover rates in the UK. For example Teesside s call centre churn rates are below 10% against a national rate of more than 30%. Across all sectors, Tees Valley labour turnover rate represents about half the regional average and only a third of the UK s. GETTING TO WORK With average journey times of only about 24 minutes, Tees Valley commuters have a far easier time getting to work than their counterparts in most other parts of the country, particularly London. RESIDENTIAL Average house prices in Teesside are less than half the national figure. The region has an excellent range of house types and locations, from coast and country to award- winning town centre living. Few new communities benefit from as well-established an infrastructure as Bowesfield and its surroundings. Indeed it was from Stockton that George Stephenson s railway first rolled out to unite the land. Almost 200 years later, the development is easily reached from Darlington station on the main East Coast line, from where London is just over 2 1 /2 hours away by rail. By road it lies just minutes from the A19 and A66, ensuring excellent links with Wearside and Yorkshire. Teesside Airport is just 6 1 /2 miles to the west and the UK s second largest port is just a few minutes down the river. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO GROW. TAKE IT. SPREAD YOUR WINGS. ARRIVE.
