Acrezone Management Ltd, Albright Industrial Estate 'Over the years the BID has been instrumental in assisting to remove rubbish and upgrade CCTV, roads/pedestrian paths, lighting, fencing and draininage. Ferry Lane is a much improved location and Albright Industrial Estate is a thriving centre for many small companies. Recent investment and expansion by businesses on the estate means there is now more employment here than at Ford Motor Company. We're confident that with the BID's assistance we will continue to achieve increased employment and environmental improvements.'
