“As a firm, we have long and historical links with businesses and individuals that have been key players in the regeneration of the city. “We are regularly instructed in assisting with sales on industrial units that have been built on the RAF site at Quedgeley. “New business and people moving into the city can only be a positive. “The growth of Gloucester is reflected by the fact that 10 years ago there was one solicitor dealing with commercial property. “There are now four solicitors in this area plus support staff, as a result of a 300 per cent increase in new work. It’s a fantastic thing for the city.” From its Clarence Street offices,Tayntons Solicitors is in a prime position to see the next stage of redevelopment, having been keen watchers of the transformation of the transport hub. They will have a prime view of the King's Quarter regeneration that will see the shopping centre, public spaces and pedestrian routes between the transport
hub and King’s Square transformed. “The hope is that that development will energise the historic city centre in the way the Quays transformed the Docks area. With 75 staff,Tayntons solicitors are in a prime position to benefit from the changes taking place.” Gloucester-born and bred partner Chris Price has special reason to enthuse about the city’s regeneration. “For a local Gloucester lad, who has been here all my life, it’s been fantastic,” he said. “But from a business perspective, it is also great to see businesses come into the city for the first time. “The more businesses and workers that come into the city, the greater the demand for legal services. “It improves the vibrancy of the city, encouraging people to spend their money in the city’s businesses on a daily basis. “That can only be a positive thing for Gloucester, as we move towards a brighter future” l For more information about Tayntons Solicitors visit www.tayntons.co.uk or call 0800 158 4147
