Amy Baker at Goadsby said: "Originally constructed as offices, the versatility of the design of the units at Hedge End Business Centre has also lent itself to be suitable for alternative uses within Class E.
"This flexibility alongside the convenient location has seen a strong demand in the units.
"Unit 12 was an open plan ground floor unit which will be fitted out to the tenants' needs and we look forward to seeing the new studio, which specialises in laser treatments, open in the near future."

‘Alarming' drop in UK consumer confidence over last year – Which?
Consumer confidence in the future UK economy has plummeted over the last year, figures suggest. Confidence has tumbled by 31 points over the last year, from an average of minus nine between May and July 2024 to an average of minus 40 between May and July this year, Which?'s Consumer Insight Tracker shows. On average between this May and July, 56% of people thought the economy would get worse and just 16% thought it would get better. Which? said the figures showed a 'significant fall' to some of the lowest levels seen since early 2023, when the cost-of-living crisis was in the headlines and inflation was in double figures. Confidence in the future economy declined sharply last autumn and was particularly low between February to May, when global events such as the US tariff policy contributed to the pessimism. Confidence had recovered a little since, but remained considerably lower than 12 months ago. Pensioners have been the most pessimistic group, with their confidence in the future UK economy falling dramatically from an average of minus five between May and July last year to a current average of minus 63. Pensioners' confidence dropped dramatically in autumn last year – shortly after the Government's first announcement of scrapping the winter fuel allowance for most pensioners – and has remained low since, in spite of the Government U-turn on fuel payments. Which?'s figures suggest that financial difficulties from the height of the cost-of-living crisis are yet to return to the pre-crisis levels. In the month to July 18, an estimated 2.1 million households missed at least one essential payment such as rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, credit card or loan payments. An estimated 13.9 million households (49%) also made at least one adjustment to cover essential spending such as utility bills, housing costs, groceries, school supplies and medicines in the last month – such as cutting back on essentials, dipping into savings, selling possessions or borrowing. Rocio Concha, Which? director of policy and advocacy, said: 'Our research shows consumer confidence in the future of the UK economy has dropped alarmingly over the last year. 'The Government has rightly focused on growing the economy and raising living standards but in doing so, it must not overlook the importance of consumer protections in restoring confidence. 'People are sick to the teeth of having to dodge fraudsters when shopping online, watching out for rogue traders when making home improvements and needing to keep an eye out for dodgy pricing practices which mean that offers aren't as good as they first appear. 'The right consumer protections give people the confidence to spend and the Government must place these protections at the heart of its plans to grow the economy.'

Electric car grant expanded to offer discount on more new models
The price of five electric cars has been cut as the Government widens a scheme to encourage people to switch. The decision means 22 cars are eligible for the electric car grant, with prices reduced by up to £1,500. Models from Volkswagen, Peugeot and Cupra have been added to the list. It is part of a £650 million investment by ministers to get people to move away from petrol or diesel cars. The new cars subject to the £1,500 discount are the Cupra Born, Volkswagen ID.3, Peugeot e-208, Peugeot e-2008 and Peugeot e-Rifter. The cost represents a 4% discount on the Cupra. The carmaker's website is advertising the car for £37,460. The Volkswagen is being advertised for £30,860, and the Peugeot models range from £20,245 to about £35,000. The number of electric cars registered in the first quarter of 2025 was 43% higher than the same period last year, according to figures published this week. DVLA data showed more than 120,000 zero-emissions cars were registered between January and March this year. Electric cars made up a fifth of registrations, up by 3% compared with the year before. The Government said it is also investing in electric car charging infrastructure in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions. However the attempts to move people away from petrol and diesel has been criticised by some who claim electric cars are also damaging to the environment because of the precious metals that need to be mined for batteries. The announcement comes a week after the Government last broadened the initiative. Earlier in August it added 13 models, including cars produced by Nissan, Renault and Vauxhall. At the time, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the Government was 'delivering on our promise to make it easier and cheaper for families to go electric'. She added: 'This is about backing drivers, putting money back into people's pockets and creating the jobs and growth that will drive Britain forward.'

Winklevosses' Gemini Files for IPO as Crypto Listings Accelerate
(Bloomberg) — Gemini Space Station Inc., led by the billionaire Winklevoss twins, filed for an IPO as the cohort of crypto businesses seeking to list on public markets continues to swell. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain The New York City-based crypto exchange and custodian had a net loss of $282.5 million on $67.9 million revenue in the six months through June 30, versus a net loss of $41.4 million on revenue of $73.5 million in the same period a year earlier, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission Friday. Founded in 2014, Gemini has more than $18 billion of assets on the platform, the filing shows. In the first six months of this year, transaction revenue from volume-based trades accounted for 65.5% of Gemini's revenue. The rush of crypto companies listing publicly comes as the Trump administration has embraced the industry and crypto legislation was signed into law. Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group Inc. went public in June in a $1.2 billion IPO, surging 168% on its first trading day, and crypto exchange Bullish climbed 84% in its debut after raising $1.1 billion earlier this week. Gemini, which counts Cameron Winklevoss as its president and Tyler Winklevoss as its chief executive officer, offers a crypto exchange, a US dollar-backed stablecoin, crypto staking and a credit card that offers rewards in crypto. It also has institutional products including crypto custody and over-the-counter trading. Cameron and Tyler each have a net worth of $7.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. They are the only shareholders in Gemini with stakes of 5% or more listed in the latest filing. The company previously faced charges from the US SEC in 2023 for selling unregistered securities to retail investors through its Gemini Earn crypto asset lending program, but the SEC dropped those charges earlier this year. The company agreed to pay $5 million to end a Commodity Futures Trading Commission lawsuit in January, without admitting or denying liability. The lawsuit had alleged Gemini misled the regulator when trying to launch the first US-regulated Bitcoin futures contract. The Winklevoss twins came to prominence after a dispute with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg over ownership of the social network. The twins attended President Donald Trump's signing of the stablecoin legislation in July and had previously donated Bitcoin to his campaign that exceeded the maximum amount allowed, so were refunded the difference. They have invested in American Bitcoin Corp., a Bitcoin mining venture tied to Trump's sons, Bloomberg News reported. The offering is being led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc., the filing shows. The company plans to make its debut on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol GEMI.
