Glasgow Central Quay goes RED to support National Heart Month

28 February 2011

Employees at leading property group Goodman, along with its occupiers at Glasgow Central Quay business park, turned red for the day in February to save lives by supporting the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) Wear Red to Work day. 

As part of National Heart Month, Goodman invited its employees and other occupiers based at Glasgow Central Quay to raise money by wearing red to work for the day. Goodman along with employees from Arlington Business Park, Reading and Hatfield Business Park took part to help fight the UK’s biggest killer - heart and circulatory disease.

Jim Johnston, MD UK Business Parks at Goodman said: “We decided to support the Wear Red to Work campaign because we wanted to do something fun for a good cause that would involve the whole Park community at Glasgow Central Quay. This initiative allowed us to do this by joining forces with our occupiers to raise money for the British Heart Foundation’s vital work.”

Jackie Skeel, Head of National Campaigns at the British Heart Foundation, said: “Thanks to Goodman going Red for Heart . The money raised will help save lives and fight the UK’s biggest killer.”

Glasgow Central Quay, developed by Goodman, is a true city centre business park, one of the first in the UK. It combines all the advantages of an out-of-town business campus with the convenience of a city centre location. On the north bank of the River Clyde, adjacent to Glasgow city centre, Central Quay will provide 46,451 sq m (500,000 sq ft) of first class office space on a 3.6 hectare (9 acre) site. The park’s location, alongside the main approach from the M8 motorway into the city centre, makes it a highly visible and accessible landmark.
