Business Premises
We decided to locate the business at Omagh Enterprise Company because our company and sales were growing. Our move has made us more efficient and improved our quality standards. We find the 24 access and free car parking helpful, especially at busy times when we have to meet deadlines.

I started my business in Omagh Enterprise Company because they were offering flexible lease agreements which meant there were no long-term commitments. I also had access to high-speed internet, free car parking and an on-site canteen. These services and the friendly atmosphere gave me the confidence to start up my business.
