The new NPPF places stronger focus on meeting the needs of a modern economy. This, alongside the Government’s target for net zero emissions by 2050, its emerging national industrial strategy, and innovative development proposals, signals an exciting era for the industrial and logistics sector.    We have an extensive track record in industrial and logistics and understand its importance in achieving sustainable and economic growth. Our refreshed brochure showcases the breadth of our work.   Significant projects such as Northern Gateway, Project Dragon and Thrive in North Warwickshire are among the projects that demonstrate the advantages of ‘essential infrastructure’, whether it be in responding to economic needs, market requirements or contributing to social value initiatives.    Read more in our brochure below about our track record of working with industrial and logistics projects of all scales.

🎄 In the run up to Christmas, our Manchester team had the privilege of volunteering with Wood Street Mission, helping bring joy to struggling families through their 2024 Christmas Appeal: https://lnkd.in/gfVD4mNS   The Turley team collected donations from across Manchester, organised toys and gifts, welcomed families to the Christmas shop and helped them choose the perfect presents. With over 100 families visiting Wood Street Mission’s shop each day in the weeks before Christmas, we were proud to play a small part in helping with the wonderful work they do.   Find out more about Wood Street Mission here: https://lnkd.in/gMXzwGN   #Manchester #WoodStreetXmas

The industrial clusters bring significant opportunities in the transition to net zero. During a roundtable discussion we hosted earlier this Autumn at the Western Gateway convention, we explored the barriers South Wales Industrial Cluster, West of England Industrial Cluster and Net Zero Industry Wales are facing together with cluster leads and key stakeholders in the region.   We have identified the six top barriers impacting the industrial clusters and delivery of net zero infrastructure projects in the South West of England and Wales. How do we tackle them? Read our latest article to understand our perspective on solutions: https://lnkd.in/e6gVzgqk The six barriers: 1. Investment to support ambition 2. Planning, policy and partnerships 3. Inefficiency, repetition and closed conversations 4. Skills and resource 5. Sentiment and public acceptance 6. Spatial understanding of available land, energy use and needs #NetZeroInfastructure #Sustainability #IndustrialClusters #WesternGateway Nicola Riley | Emily Bell | Jadine Berry

Our teams in Bristol, London, Manchester and Birmingham have been busy in the run up to Christmas supporting our regional office charities. This is what we’ve been up to so far in December:   • In London we’ve been whipping up cakes for a bake sale to raise money for FoodCycle. • In Birmingham, some of our co-owners have chosen to donate the money that would have been spent on a Christmas present from Turley to SIFA Fireside. • In Manchester we’ve been collecting toys, gifts and books for Wood Street Mission’s Christmas appeal. We’ve also been volunteering in the Christmas shop. • In Bristol we’re taking part in North Bristol and South Glos Foodbank’s reverse advent initiative, helping to collect the foodbank’s most needed items this Christmas.   You can find out more about the work of these brilliant charities at the links below: • FoodCycle: https://foodcycle.org.uk/ • SIFA Fireside: https://lnkd.in/dzA7NHqv • Wood Street Mission: https://lnkd.in/gMXzwGN • North Bristol and South Glos Foodbank: https://lnkd.in/eCsX_q5f
