Mr Brown said: "I am delighted to be here today to officially open this new state-of-the-art business centre which will support many hundreds of jobs in my constituency. I want to congratulate Evans Easyspace for this major investment in the John Smith Business Park and for their continued commitment to the Fife economy supporting business of all types and size.

"I also want to thank Fife Council for their continued development of this site. Fife works best when Fife works together and this is another good example of a public/private partnership approach that will pay dividends for business and individuals."
