Despite economic forecasts for 2012 things are not all doom and gloom for Bristol.

despite the bleak state of the economy there is still plenty to be optimistic about when it comes to the financial wealth and health of Bristol and the surrounding area.

As 2011 wound to a close there was a series of announcements that can only bode well for Bristol in the future.

Top of the list was the announcement that all five public transport schemes in Bristol and the surrounding area have been given Government backing to the tune of £200 million.

Bristol Airport is gearing itself up for some major changes with work on its £120-million expansion due to get into full swing this year.

Added to that the Enterprise Zone which was announced in the budget will start to make its presence felt in Bristol The aim is to create thousands of jobs by bringing hundreds of new firms to the city.

This year Bristol will also find out wether it has been chosen as the venue for the Government’s Green Bank. The city, with its long association with the environmental movement, is a front runner in the multi-million race.

All this news is extremely encouraging for distribution and warehouse premises as it illustrates Bristol as a city with prospects, encouraging future investment.

Already in demand warehouses in Bristol and the surrounding area are likely to become further requested. As Andrew Hardwick, from Williams Gunter Hardwick has said, ”The bright spot in the gloom appears to be the industrial sector that is bolstered by demand from the distribution sector as we are seeing with the likes of Avonmouth.”
