Just 6 months after opening its doors, Orega's High Holborn business centre in London's Midtown is now fully occupied.

Orega High Holborn has signed 4 more new clients since it's opened its doors two months ago. The striking glass-fronted building at 16 High Holborn, London now has nine very diverse companies occupying 40 per cent of the modern, air-conditioned offices.

Dennis Turner, the chief economist for HSBC Bank, predicted a slow thaw in the recession and urged a return to industrial investment and exports when he gave the keynote talk at the launch of a new Orega business centre at Colmore Plaza, central Birmingham, last night.
