Taskforce Finds the Perfect Home in Bonnyrigg

Taskforce logo When Taskforce, a well-established print finishing and handling company, faced rising rents in Edinburgh, they began searching for a location that would work for the business and their team. With the help of Midlothian Council’s Economic Development Service, they found exactly what they needed at Butlerfield Industrial Estate in Bonnyrigg.

Why Butlerfield Industrial Estate Works
