Location:

Cradlehall Business Park offers occupies a premier location on the eastern side of Inverness within easy reach of all main arterial routes and the city centre. Its modern environment offers owners and occupiers a superb profile and superior business accommodation. Occupiers already established within the business park include NHS Highland, Scottish Ambulance Service, Morgan Sindall, Johnston Carmichael, Harper Macleod LLP, Bidwells, Barclays, NFU Mutual and British Red Cross, to name a few. Cradlehall lies close to the new University of the Highlands and Islands Campus which opened its door to students in 2015 and represents a £50 million investment. Known as the Beechwood Education and Research Campus, the 215 acre site is a development by Highlands and Islands Enterprise and also includes the Scottish Agricultural College and a Health Science Centre. As part of the Scottish Government’s commitment within the £315 million Inverness and Highland City-Region Deal, plans are being progressed for the new East Link road which will connect the A9 to the A96 between Inshes and Smithton to the east of Inverness. The new carriageway and improved junctions will ease congestion at Inshes and provide improved connectivity for Cradlehall Business Park.
