With so many more exciting projects in the future and a number already in the works, it is very much looking forward to seeing where it can take itself and its clients next. Company: Aitchison Developments Contact: Jeremy Aitchison Website: aitchisondevelopments.com holistic, determined, and turnkey property development and management firm, Aitchison Developments works in perfect tandem with its clients to take their projects from purchase all the way through to sale or completion. The company’s achievements are made even more impressive when you consider its relatively small size, with just four people creating the team that drives the success. This small size has allowed the company to focus on client centricity, and simply outperform the competition when it comes to meeting – and exceeding – all expectations. As Aitchison Developments’ Harry Aitchison explains in more detail, “Our overall mission is to deliver best in class service to our clients that maximises the value of their investment and delivers a product that meets the needs of occupiers.” Of course, the crux of this goal hinges on an ability to understand the industry inside and out – and fundamentally, it is this twopronged approach of expertise and service that has forged the reputation that the company enjoys today. Its this in-depth understanding of its clientele that has recently allowed it to succeed in the ambitious development of a 25-acre site 5 miles west of Cambridge called Bourn Quarter, building a mid-tech R&D catering space that is completely carbon net-zero. There can be no doubt that net-zero carbon remains a significant influence on the greater market in the UK, and across the entire real estate industry. As Laura details further: “Net-zero carbon and sustainable development are two key areas that are beginning to have a huge impact on the delivery of new industrial schemes across the UK.” This is an area that the property management and investment area needs to prioritise, especially if it wants to meet government guidelines. In this way, Aitchison Developments is looking to set the pace in this area, with a mind towards sustainable building practices wherever possible. It would be remiss to gloss over the company’s ability to learn and develop on the back of learned experiences. Laura credits its unique perspective – having managed their own projects Founded in 2017, Aitchison Developments is the creation of Jeremy Aitchison. With over 35 years of experience in the industry, having previously co-founded Parlison Properties in 1993, Aitchson has been able to kickstart this new venture by hitting the ground running, showcasing the impeccable nature of its specialties in pension funds and private investment platforms that do not have an in-house development or management capability.
