Work on the new offices continues apace
18/05/2010
The new home for Marketing Means - The Old Goods Shed in Station Yard, Ashburton is transforming by the day.
Only a month ago, this beautiful old station goods shed, originally built in 1872, was an empty shell. But work has been carrying on apace under the guidance of project manager Richard Goulden.
As a grade 2 listed building, every effort has been taken to make sure that this renovation shows off this historic building's features to best effect, with a sympathetic, but modern design for the offices undertaken by architects Webster-Sheryn from just down the road in Dartington.
Anna-Marie Hill, Managing Director of Marketing Means said: "We are all really excited to see the 'new' offices finished. They will provide a great setting to work in that reflects all that we try to do at Marketing Means. It is forward looking and modern in design, packed full of environmentally friendly features, such as a heating system driven by an air source heat pump, and high efficiency insulation in the roof. But it still keeps all the beautful and original features of this impressive, Brunel designed building."
The new office is due for completion at the end of May, with Marketing Means moving in by the middle of June.
