GC Motors owner completes £250,000 property refit
In this morning's business briefing, a Harrogate car dealership has completed a property refit and a surgery is set to pioneer new stem cell treatment.
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
Giles Castleton, the owner of GC Motors in Harrogate, has completed the £250,000 refit of Adam House, a four-storey office block adjacent to the car dealership on Ripon Way, Harrogate.
The refurbishment is in preparation for the property being offered for re-letting.
Adam House has parking and electric car charging points as well as secure bike stores.
Mr Castleton said:
“We already own several properties on this site and when Adam House became available we were keen to add it to our portfolio. It’s a fantastic building with a great deal to offer. It’s in a great location, just a mile from Harrogate town centre, it’s very accessible by either car, bike or public transport."
Clem McDowell, office agency director at property consultants Carter Towler, which is marketing the property, said:
“By removing the existing partitioning, upgrading all the communal facilities including toilets and kitchens, adding energy efficient lighting and air conditioning with air recirculation, this impressive, stand-alone property is now perfect for progressive businesses such as solicitors, accountants, IT and media agencies looking for additional space.”
Harrogate clinic to bring pioneering stem cell treatment to UK
A Harrogate surgery is set to bring a pioneering stem cell treatment to the UK.
Mallappa Kolar, whose family runs Kliniken plastic and cosmetic surgery clinic, is set to pioneer a new variation of the procedure which helps patients with painful osteoarthritis.
The procedure uses a HumanMed ‘Q-graft’ machine that isolates stem cells using a combination of methods to increase the purity of stem cells obtained from the fat.
The treatment itself focuses on utilising fat cells to aid regeneration within the area affected through use of targeted injections at the problem regions and joints.
Mr Kolar said his experience of seeing the effects of arthritis first hand inspired him to pursue stem cell research.
He said:
“It all started when I saw first-hand the disabling effects that arthritis has on both the physical and mental status of an individual, which I witnessed through my own parents’ suffering. This really hit home when seeing my son, their first grandchild, wanted them to join him playing and their inability to join in with him because of the pain.
“I knew then that this was an area I was deeply passionate about and wanting to work further on towards solutions that really work – so that is what I did.”
