UK Science Parks traditionally suffer from below average occupancy rates, based on consultancy work Fasset has undertaken, the average occupancy rate is 70%-80%, whilst Fasset levels are regularly over 90%.  This provides an excellent opportunity for the Fasset ‘model’ to assist the UK Science Park Association.

Owners and Investors of these parks now have a clear alternative to take advantage of Fasset’s full property and facilities management abilities.  As the trend is for more Science Parks and Innovation Centres, so will be the downward pressure to make these environments a profitable and sustainable enterprise.

By utilising Fasset’s ethos of working in partnership with its client, a full analysis via benchmarking could be undertaken to define a Science Park’s location and additional corporate clients to locate in these environments.  A branding exercise would be promoted to personalise each site from which clients can benefit from the shared services provided. Fasset has the ability to assist in master planning, development, fit-out project management and where required – refurbishment – will maximise a site’s asset value.  Flexible leases can be provided to help customers grow and maintain their business, which in turn, will continually add value to an Investor’s portfolio.

As befits a new century, with world economic climates changing more rapidly, the ability for a property and facilities management company to be able to, not simply follow these trends – but to lead from the front – means that for the first time UK Science Parks have the answer to be able to maximise their values and profitability.

Fasset also believe, that alongside Science Parks – there exists the potential for their model to work just as efficiently with other complimentary sectors, including University Research Centres and Governmental Sites.

To endorse this Fasset has a Health and Safety and welfare policy that strives to exceed not only all their legal obligations but also their Health and Safety goals.

Fasset is environmentally certified to ISO 14001 and quality certified at ISO 9001:2000. To support all the above and more, Fasset employs their unique SHEQ Management System.
