Joint venture partners HF Developments and AWG Property Ltd recently announced a £104m expansion plan for the Park with a creation of over 2,500 jobs and an additional 319,000 sq.ft of office accommodation which will be built over the next three or four years.

William Hill, managing director of HF Developments, said: “The retail parade is the first step in the expansion plans which we recently announced for the Park. Following on from our successful retail parade at Strathclyde Business Park, we felt that it was important to develop the facilities at Hamilton International Park to support the increasing workforce here.”
Stephen Kelly, director of AWG Property, added: “We have had initial interest from several retail outlets and we are in the process of discussing finer details with them. We believe that this will be another draw for businesses looking to relocate.
