Chelgate moves to new London headquarters
01 August 2000
Chelgate Limited, the leading independent public relations agency, is
moving offices. From Monday August 7th the company's headquarters will
be at Number One, Tanner Street, London SE1 - a part of the capital which
is rapidly establishing itself as a dynamic financial and commercial district
on the one hand, and a major centre for art and culture on the other.
Chelgate's chairman and founder Terence Fane-Saunders said his prime concern
was to find the right home for the company as it enters an important new
phase of growth and development.
"The fact is, we have simply outgrown our current offices," he
added. "So we decided to take the opportunity to find somewhere bigger
and more modern, yet still easy to get to for our local, national and international
clients."
London Bridge quickly proved the ideal solution: thanks to the new Jubilee
Line extension, both the West End and Docklands are now only a few stops
away, and all of the mainline railway stations are within easy reach. The
London Bridge area itself has seen dramatic change in recent years, with
its ornate and elegant old warehouses finding new roles as homes for fashionable
restaurants, galleries and offices. Construction is also under way for
the new headquarters of the Greater London Authority a short stroll from
Chelgate's office, while just across the River Thames, many of the country's
leading financial institutions are to be found in the City of London.
Previously based in an elegant mews property in Mayfair, Chelgate now
occupies the whole of an attractively renovated former warehouse which
provides ample space for the current and anticipated influx of additional
staff, as well as the equipment required for the company's growing new
media capabilities.
