Old Mill move into new premises in Yeovil

YEOVIL  accountants and financial planners Old Mill are moving to the newly refurbished town centre property Maltravers House after outgrowing their Goldcroft office.
 
Old Mill has been in Yeovil since 1998, but in that time, staff numbers have grown from around 40 to 85, and the current office is bursting at the seams.

So about a year ago, Old Mill tasked surveyors and commercial property consultants Space to help them move into Maltravers House (pictured) in the centre of town.  

Managing director Tim Wadsworth said: “Old Mill wanted a bright, airy and modern working environment, in a great central location with plenty of space and room for expansion.

They chose Maltravers House because it has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment and has been designed to allow a modern open-plan working environment.
 
“It also has fantastic views over Central Yeovil and benefits from excellent on-site parking, which is a rarity for many city locations. We have acquired 14,000sq ft over three floors in the building for Old Mill and there is 4,000 sq ft currently vacant in which could be occupied for future growth.”
 
Although the move was needed for practical reasons, Old Mill is looking forward to the positive impact that a modern working environment will have on staff. 
 
Old Mill's head of the Yeovil officer, Stuart Grimster, said: “The new Yeovil office will be such a massive step forward in terms of providing a place for our people to work creatively, efficiently and flexibly.

“The buzz that the move has created amongst our staff is amazing and it is clear people are genuinely excited at the thought of our bright, airy and colourful new offices being their new place of work.”
 
Stuart, who was born and bred in Yeovil, says he is proud to see such a modern working place springing up in a key location in the centre of the town and hopes it becomes an example of what Yeovil has to offer.
 
“It is vital that successful companies like Old Mill continue to support the local economy in this way,'' he added.

''Fantastic working environments including the latest technology are a key component in being able to employ and retain the best people in the region; our aim is to continue to grow Old Mill and offer great career opportunities for local people so this move is an essential part of our plan.”

The move took place over the weekend and today (Nov 12).
