00:00 So we're here in Glangormley today to mark the sod cutting and the launch of our new
00:11 workspace hub in the centre of the town. This project has been supported by the Leveling
00:16 Up Fund and by the council. So we're delighted to have created an innovative, dynamic hub
00:22 in the middle of Glangormley which will be available to entrepreneurs, start-up businesses
00:27 and early growth businesses. We hope to have the facility completed by the end of 2025
00:33 and available to new occupants for early 26th. What will be significant and unique about
00:38 this actual facility will be that we will have professional wraparound support for anyone
00:43 who is interested in starting up a business in this area. Importantly, what we want to
00:49 do is really create a community of entrepreneurs and businesses that will operate from this
00:53 facility and that we will then be able to support both directly from the council and
00:58 through our partner organisations like our enterprise agencies, Invest NI and other partners.
01:04 We think importantly this project will also not only stimulate local business and local
01:08 business start-up, for us it's about supporting the future of Glangormley Town Centre as well.
01:13 Once completed around 300 people can work on this site and we see that as a real opportunity
01:18 for the local businesses in the town centre and the area really to benefit from that working
01:23 population coming in daily and spending that money at the drone centre.
