NEW BUSINESS CENTRE OPENS ITS DOORS IN BATH
Chadwick Business Centres has opened the door to its latest offering on Trim Street in the heart
of Bath, the firm’s twelfth business centre in the UK. Chadwick also operates serviced offices in
Bristol, Cardiff, Reading and Southampton, with Bath being the latest jewel in its crown.
Acknowledging the need for more high
quality, transparently and competitively
priced serviced offices in Bath’s city
centre, propelled Chadwick to launch
its own offering, in the characterful
Grade II listed Georgian building that is
the newly refurbished 6/7 Trim Street.
Offering various sized office suites
across five floors, Trim Street Business
Centre marries old and new with an
interior design scheme that provides
an inspirational workspace in which
businesses can thrive. There are also
bookable meeting rooms and business
lounges available for both internal and
external clients.
Lucy Kane, Business Development
Director at Chadwick Business
Centres, said, “We understand
that today’s occupier is looking for
MATERIALS
something beyond plain
physical
Material Pallet
workspace and with Trim Street
Business Centre, we aim to deliver a
unique space that fits the building’s
individual style and location, as Bath
becomes an increasingly desirable
location for businesses to base
themselves.
“As the world of serviced offices
continues to evolve and by dispensing
with a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, we
look forward to working with an eclectic
mix of occupiers to whom we can offer
flexible, affordable options, within a
fantastic workspace.”
Chadwick’s signature focus on
exceptional customer service, coupled
with competitive fully-inclusive
workstation rates for such a centrally
located business hub has already

SMEs and multi-national blue chip
companies alike.

at Chadwick added, “We provide the
benefits of a ‘big office’ infrastructure
with all the latest technology and
modern amenities in a friendly and co-
operative environment. We are excited
about forging new relationships with
occupiers and other local businesses in
the Bath area and aim to replicate our
successful model of multi-site clusters
in our markets and aim to increase
our presence in Bath over the coming

years.”

Rengen projects top £150 million
Regeneration schemes in Bath, Bristol, Exeter and
Worcester have helped South West developer Rengen
to a record period of growth which sees the company’s
portfolio top £150million* (Gross Development Value*)
The company has quickly established itself in the
regeneration market, taking on a variety of city
centre schemes throughout the South West. Rengen
has formed several new joint-venture partnerships
delivering multiple mixed-use schemes comprising
residential, student, commercial, retail, office and
open market rental developments.
The multi-disciplinary property developer is
focusing on strategic development and regeneration
across the South West of England. With its own
highly experienced in-house team the company
specialises in sourcing sites, funding, planning,
developing and delivery across a wide range of
sectors.
In the past 12 months Rengen has signed deals
on nine new projects adding to its already impressive
portfolio.
The rapid growth of the company over the past 12
months shows the benefits and importance of urban
regeneration and how repurposing sites for different
markets can give them a new lease of life, delivering
value to landowners as well as benefits to local
communities.
Rengen has invested significantly in staff
recruitment to service the rapid growth in
development with five new appointments in the last
12 months. In addition, the company has made a

significant investment in new offices in the heart of
Bath where it is relocating its entire development
team.
Iestyn Lewis, CEO of Rengen, said, “Achieving
£150 million in our development portfolio marks
a significant milestone for Rengen. Since our
formation in 2007 our aim has always been to create
high quality developments and bring brownfield sites
back in to use.
“With the London market facing uncertain times,
our strategy of investing financial resources into
development opportunities across the South West, as
well as building our land bank across the region, has
proven very successful.
“Investment in staff means that our in-house
expertise has given us the resource to deliver sites
that other developers may not see as attractive. The
last 12 months have been incredibly busy and we’re
working on new acquisitions that will see Rengen
continue to deliver further schemes over the next
two years.”
