With its ease of access to four major motorways, Berkshire’s logistics sector has “gone wild” this year and its industrial market is busier than ever, according to Page Hardy Harris director and co-founder Nick Hardy. According to the Radius On Demand Rankings, PHH has done more deals (48) than anyone else in Berkshire this year and key to this has been a bullish industrial market which exists partly in response to the pandemic but also because of some notable occupiers far removed from the world of logistics. Thames Valley also has a flourishing digital technologies sector and Hardy sees huge potential in its life sciences offering. Hardy, a chartered environmentalist with a doctorate in marine geophysics, also outlines ways in which the industry can ameliorate its environmental impact, believing developments need to offer free charging points for electric vehicles as standard and also be future-proofed so they can have a much longer lifespan.
