Wilson Bowden - Offices Development - Nottingham, Ruddington Fields

Date: 08 Feb 2001

The success of Wilson Bowden Development's scheme at Ruddington Fields, Nottingham continues, with the confirmation that the new 1,393.5 sq m (15,000 sq
ft) Headquarters of Computerland Group Plc are now under construction.

Computerland join BASF, Pharmaceutical Profiles, EMTEC and Greene Tweed as the latest occupiers of the 35-acre parkland office development.

Graham Gilbert of Computerland confirmed:
'We chose Ruddington Fields as it was important for us to find a prestigious environment complimenting the nature of our business. Ruddington's emphasis on quality and landscaping met this criteria within
a location close to our traditional Nottingham base.'

The unit has been designed specifically to suit Computerland's requirements and, upon completion (due in July 2001), will provide air-conditioned offices with 66 on-site car parking spaces.

Mark Elliott at Wilson Bowden confirmed:
'The quality of the environment offered at Ruddington is being recognised increasingly as an important factor when companies are considering where to
relocate for the future. Being located adjacent to the Country Park, it generally offers a parkland environment of some stature.

Computerland had clear views on the quality of both the building and the environment that they were wishing to satisfy and the time period in which
they wished to complete their move.

The building at Ruddington will be finished within 12 months of our initial discussions with Computerland.

Computerland are the second company to relocate from the Highfields Science Park.'

Approximately 16.5 acres remain available at Ruddington with the site capable of accommodating individual buildings from 929 sq m (10,000 sq ft) to
Headquarters campus developments up to 23,225 sq m (250,000 sq ft).

Wilson Bowden are advised by Fisher Hargreaves Proctor, Innes England and DTZ Debenham Tie Leung.
