Korean presence keeps on growing
Article Abstract:
Korean companies have been attracted to the UK, with Samsung investing in the North East and Lucky Goldstar investing in South Wales. Korean firms have decided to move outwards and the UK is seen as a key European location. Suppliers to large Korean firms have also followed such as Halla European Enterprises which produces automobile parts. A change in government in the UK is unlikely to affect this trend in foreign investment. The UK has a language advantage and the UK work force is seen as being of a high quality.

Business parks: the enthusiasm for out-of-town business parks in the 80s has been tempered by government interference and the need to satisfy staff on-site needs
Article Abstract:
Business parks are finding difficulties in attracting and retaining staff often due to problems with access and the lack of on-site facilities. They are also often seen as encroaching on green belt land, and encouraging the use of the motor car. However business parks are still chosen by corporate planners and there has been a growth in the 'mid-urban business park' incorporating office space, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and hotels.
