Rupert Batho, Commercial Director at Frasers Property UK, said, “We’re thrilled to welcome AHEAD to Winnersh Triangle. The park is home to a number of leading science and technology businesses and continues to attract forward-thinking companies like AHEAD.”
“This successful letting also reflects the long-term prominence of Reading and the Thames Valley as an established hub for global technology, data and science-led industries. Supported by strong infrastructure, a skilled workforce and excellent connectivity, the region has long been recognised as a centre of excellence for progressive businesses. Building on these strengths, Reading and the wider Thames Valley continue to reinforce their position and grow as one of the UK’s most dynamic centres for innovation and sustainable development,” he added.
Adam Kemp, Vice President of AHEAD’s UK and Europe operations, said: “Relocating to Winnersh Triangle marks a new chapter for AHEAD as we continue to expand our presence in the UK. As demand for our solutions increases, this move provides the space, power capacity and flexibility we need to support our next phase of growth. Winnersh Triangle offers the ideal hybrid environment for our operations, while also providing excellent connectivity, high-quality amenities and a vibrant community of leading technology businesses that we’re proud to join.”
Winnersh Triangle is a 1.5 million sq ft mixed-use technology and science park with a wide variety of workspaces that caters to different organisational needs, including Grade A offices for major HQs, start-up office suites, data centres, surgical training centres and R&D facilities. A high-quality hub and home to leading technology, data and science companies, the park offers exceptional connectivity – with direct rail links, access to the M4 and proximity to Heathrow – giving businesses a strategic base to connect and grow across the Thames Valley and beyond.
The park has consistently been recognised and awarded for its commitment to enhancing the well-being of occupiers; with its 90 acres of green open spaces and healthy events programmes including bootcamps, yoga, meditation and chair massage making it an attractive space for occupiers looking to improve the health and well-being of its people.
