The creation of networkspace ltd, a joint venture between Langtree Group plc and English Partnerships, is at the forefront of public/private sector partnerships.

The company has been established as a result of the government's commitment to improve the economic prosperity of the English coalfield regions.

The company combines the strengths of both partners to deliver a significant programme of industrial workspace development.

The partnership addresses an identified gap in the industrial property sector by providing workspace premises available on flexible terms to meet the requirements of small businesses.
