One of the biggest drivers for the industrial market is the need to locate distribution facilities closer to consumers.” Ensuring smarter decisions Ultimately, within this constantly changing environment, it is clear that independent and informed advice is the key to making the right investment decisions. “At UPA, all our recommendations are based on detailed knowledge of the market obtained through comprehensive research, up-to- date and accurate data,” Sam says. “The result is consistent, reliable and timely advice that allows you to proceed with confidence.”
