Team Valley is the largest industrial estate in single freehold ownership in the country. It is host to over 700 businesses, employing 20,000 people, and is still regarded in the property world as an exemplar of commercial property and is known throughout the world. 2011 marks the 75th Anniversary since its inception and as the owners, UK Land Estates will be hosting a few events over the coming months to celebrate.

History of Team Valley Walk

Following the success of the Norwood Nature Walk during a lunch time in April 2011 another walk has been arranged for lunch time on 15th September 2011. This time it starts in the central location of Shopping Village. Specifically arranged to fit into an hour's lunch time it starts at 12.15pm and will be finished by 1.00pm.

It’s a knockout

As part of this year’s 75th Anniversary Celebrations UK Land Estates hosted Its a Knockout on Sunday 21st August.

More than 100 staff from Team Valley Businesses took part in this fantastic competition in aid of charity. Two competitions ran from 10am-1pm and the second from 1pm-4pm.

Entry fee was £200 per team - all of which has been donated to a Team Valley based Charity FACT (Fighting All Cancers Together).

It’s a knockout was a fun tastic way of raising much needed funds for a local charity as well as creating an opportunity for team building within companies that took part.
