Virtual tenants on the increase

Enterprise North East Trust (ENET) today, **DAY AND DATE**, announces that the number of virtual tenants using the ENET business centre services rose during the fourth quarter of 2006. An increase of 16% brings the number of virtual tenants to 93.

Karen Pugh, director; property services at ENET says, "The north east economy remains buoyant and this is certainly reflected in both the number of virtual and actual tenants using the ENET business centres and associated services."

"The virtual office tends to be attractive to those running a business from their home and also to companies who require a regional address," explains Karen. "They benefit from telephone answering in their company name and a business mailing address. In addition virtual tenants receive one day’s conference room hire each month; these services all help new and growing businesses to present a professional image to their current and potential customers."

Occupancy rates at the ENET business centres remain consistent with performance in the previous quarter; three of the ten business centre run by ENET achieved 100% occupancy rates. The centres at Crichiebank, Thainstone and Westhill continue to operate to capacity.

ENET manages 53,000 square feet of office space at 10 business centres located across the north of Scotland. The locations include Aberdeen, Banff, Peterhead, Ellon, Fraserburgh and Huntly. The services are currently being utilised by more than 125 actual tenants.

Enterprise North East Trust (ENET) operates ten serviced offices across the north east, the centres located in Fraserburgh, Peterhead (Burnside), Huntly and Westhill are managed by Enterprise in partnership with Aberdeenshire Council.
