One of your tenants ROCK FOOD AND EVENTS have just opened their first restaurant in Raynes Park near Wimbledon in London.

Its called ‘ROCK’ at Raynes Park and, after its opening last Wednesday, is already proving to be a great success.

ROCK FOOD AND EVENTS is an event catering company providing outstanding food and impeccable service to the private and corporate sectors in Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset, Hampshire, London and beyond. The restaurant is their first and is a coming together of the partner’s extensive experience in the industry:  Jonny’s hospitality, front of house, and event management know how and Nick’s Michein Star standard culinary Skills.

Only 15 minutes from Waterloo Station, and right outside Raynes Park station, the restaurant also has a bar selling fabulous local beers  – well worth a visit if you are travelling nearby.

The Wincombe Centre wishes them every success with their new venture!

Networking is a great way to meet other like minded business people.  It is a fabulous way to talk to , learn from, or help out other businesses.  It opens up lines of communication that may prove to be valuable in the future.

That’s hopefully what we aim to do by our get togethers at the Centre.  Last Thursday 18 of us took the time out of our busy working days to meet up over an informal ‘munch’.  As Centre Mananger, it was nice to be able to introduce new tenants and to get people talking about their businesses.  We have such a variety of different skills on offer here and it was great to chat about any difficulties that small businesses might face as well as brainstorming ideas.

The Wincombe Centre has two new tenants this week gda architecture and Springboards Ltd and we look forward to welcoming two more in the near future when Careline CC Ltd and Independent Vision (Mere) Ltd join us!

It’s been a busy few weeks!

The Centre is now 100% occupied which is amazing.  All our small businesses are thriving despite the current economic climate.  Some of our tenants have upsized to grow their business and others have downsized to keep their costs under control and to stay profittable.  Hopefully The Wincombe Centre gives businesses the opportunity to respond to changes like these and to remain successsful.  Small business success however is mainly down to very hard working individuals…and we have a lot of those at the Centre!  Lets hope they and we continue to go from strength to strength!

The Wincombe Centre has been busy over the last few weeks.  We would like to wish continued success to those businesses leaving us this week and give a warm welcome to our three new tenants who are joining us over the coming weeks.

We have only one unit available at the moment which is a fabulous newly decorated ground floor unit in Block 2.  It is 273 sq ft and so would suit a two or three desk business down to the ground.  Why not pop in to have a look?

For more information please call Wendy on 01747 850404

The Wincombe centre has been a hive of activity again this last week.

We have had two tenants that have decided to move on…..

Apex Care are centralising their office to make their business opperation more effective.  They have just left us for an office in Henstridge and we wish them well.

Engage XM are leaving us too.  They no longer need a local office and so Alistair will return to his large bristol head office.  We wish them continued success with their business.

New tenants joining us soon are:

SPRINGBOARDS LTD who are moving into Unit 23 soon

GDA ARCHITECTURE who will be moving into Unit 24 in a coupld of weeks     and

CARELINE LTD who will be joining us in the new year.

We still have ONE unit available…..perhaps your business could do with a redirection, perhaps your home office has it’s downfalls, well Unit 10 could be your solution.  It is 273 Sq Ft and is being newly decorated as we speak.  Pop in to have a look or call for more information on 01747 850404.

The first tenants networking lunch was a big success and was attended by 15 different businesses from the centre.

For an hour over lunch on Thursday 29th September our community of business men and women came together for an informal meet and greet over nibbles and drinks.  We were blessed with the late summer sunshine and spilled out onto the patio to enjoy the warmth for probably the last time this year.  The lunch provided a great opportunity for fellow business men and women from the Centre to meet, including tenants that otherwise would not have the opportunity to meet in their busy working days.  There has hopefully been some useful introductions, meaning that tenants can use the extensive range of expertise that we have on site.

The Wincombe Centre Businesses

Centre Manager Wendy said: ” It was great for people to finally meet.  As Manager, I obviously know all of the tenants and we have a really fantastic group here.  Some lone workers have taken space at the Centre to avoid being stuck alone in a home office, and so it is nice to find like minded people and to share your experience and knowledge over a relaxed social gathering.  I am really looking forward to the next lunch in November.”

Oh yes there is….

The Wincombe Centre’s very first tenants Networking Business Lunch is booked for

                                                 Thursday 29th September 

                                                          12.45pm - 1.45pm

A fabulous opportunity for tenants to pop out from their units and become part of the wider business

community here at the Centre.  Meet your fellow business men and women and exchange advice, expertise

and even friendship.  It is hoped that this will become a bi monthly event.  Watch this space for the next date.

Well it’s all change again at The Wincombe Centre as two more of our tenants are embarking on a change of scenery and relocating within the centre.

Omega Steel move from Unit 22 into Unit 14 on the 3rd October. 

Lighterlife are moving from Unit 10 to Unit 28 also on the 3rd October.

Great news for them, and for us, as we now have two fresh vacancies:

Unit 22 is a fabulous unit on the ground floor of Block 3 and Unit 10 is a lovely corner unit in Block 2.

Call Wendy on 01747 850404 for further information on these units.  But don’t delay….Nothing stays the same for long in our bustling business centre these days!!  Speak to you soon
