Melksham Chamber of Commerce were the guests of commercial interior design and Technical Fit Out Company Procol Ltd On Tuesday 17th February.
The company is based in Kingsbury Square Melksham and will be celebrating 20 years of trading on 1st June this year.
Procol provide their comprehensive portfolio of products and services to blue chip and global companies nationally from their office bases in Kingsbury House, Melksham and Midsomer Norton.
Procol has enjoyed significant growth and increasing staff numbers over recent years which continues. Owners Nick Denning and Roy Bertuello have also purchased and refurbished three commercial buildings in Melksham, and in 2011 established a serviced office business under the Procol umbrella. This has proved to be a very successful string to their bow which has served to enhance the town and attract numerous small and medium sized enterprises to Melksham.
Founder Nick Denning treated Chamber members to a guided tour of their impressive premises, which many fondly remembered as the old British Legion club building, now transformed into a stunning modern office environment.
The group then walked across the road to the newly opened Kingsbury Hall premises. The building was built in 1777 as a Quaker Meeting House, later becoming a Spiritualist Church in 1959 and finally purchased by Procol in 2013 after lying unused for seven years and renamed as Kingsbury Hall.
Procol have kept many of the original features while reviving the building, giving Kingsbury Hall a new, modern lease of life, and companies have already been eager to rent office space in this exciting new venture.
Chamber members then returned to Kingsbury House where they had a short, formal meeting followed by pancakes (the date being Shrove Tuesday).
Melksham Chamber of Commerce’s next meeting takes place on Tuesday 24th March and the hosts on this occasion will be Sound Marketing Ltd. Anybody interested in attending should contact the Chamber’s secretary, Phil McMullen, at melksham@mail.com
