Fulham Green's First Birthday Party!

On Friday 2nd May, Clarendon's Chester House in Fulham Green celebrated its first birthday in true style.

Rather typically, the great British weather didn't hold out for us and a last minute dash was made to move the party inside, but our spirits couldn't be dampened.

With snacks and drinks aplenty, we were joined by our customers and office brokers all of whom helped make the afternoon a success. The singer-songwriter Lauren Flynn treated us to a fantastic acoustic set that really added to the party atmosphere.



Tom Penn, Managing Director of Prysm London said: "On behalf of all the team at Prysm London, we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Angela, Ammisha, Leah & Daisey for putting on the Clarendon First Birthday Party. The Pimms and beers were flowing - coupled with live music, nibbles & networking with all of the other businesses at the centre - we thoroughly enjoyed it - Bring on the next party!"

If you haven't visited Chester House yet, then you are really missing out. It boasts an on site Café Plum and bar, an outside terrace and beautiful grounds, an on-site Gym with changing rooms & showers and the secure underground car park with safe bicycle parking. With a top Clarendon team, Chester House is furnished to the highest spec and is the ideal location for your new offices!

Oxfordshire Focus: So Much More Than An Office Space...

Nord Anglia Education is a global family of 28 international schools, located in 12 countries across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. It provides outstanding education to over 18,000 students from preschool through to the end of secondary education.

As part of Nord Anglia Education's Global Classroom programme, a short story competition was recently launched.

From its offices in Oxfordshire's Prama House, Eluned Mansell, the Global Classroom Programme Manager commented:


"We are very grateful to Clarendon's Harriet Quainton for helping us out. Twenty-three international schools entered over 1,500 stories, and Harriet provided invaluable support, logging and filing hundreds of these short stories from our students. She even let us know when she read a fantastic entry!"

"When our clients lease a Clarendon office," says Natasha Turner, Clarendon's Oxfordshire Area Manager, "they are not only gaining a fabulous modern working environment but also a team of people who are on hand to help with their business and we are delighted that Harriet was able to assist Nord Anglia Education on this project."

To find out more about Nord Anglia Education, please contact Kate Macdonald on 01865 339464 or visit its website at: www.nordangliaeducation.com

Bournemouth Focus: Hollywood Marketing Will Sell Your Timeshare For You

Hollywood Marketing SLU is based in Tenerife in the Canary Islands with subsidiaries in York, Bournemouth & Stratford upon Avon.

They help their customers sell their Timeshare, Timeshare Points and Holiday Club Memberships using modern direct marketing methods to attract fresh international buyers, who relish the idea of timeshare property.

These buyers, as a sector, are growing in number, holidaying more, and have an increasing amount of disposable income.


Their dedicated and experienced travel and timeshare specialists are fully compliant with all EU timeshare legislation and are members of the Direct Marketing Association, abiding by its strict code of conduct with regard to data compliance and direct customer contact.

Paul Harrison from Glenmore Consultants Ltd , the Bournemouth-based subsidiary, says:

"We initially took one office as I was working alone in the UK. We chose Clarendon because of the support they offer across the board and that proved enormously helpful. After around 8 months we took on another consultant and another office in the Bournemouth Clarendon Business Centre. This was made extremely easy and was efficiently handled by the Centre staff. It was perfect for the two of us as all of the mailing and reception duties were handled by Clarendon saving us having to employ our own support staff."

"This made it easy to expand the business and we opened other centres throughout the UK. We've now grown to such a level that it is now viable to employ our own Office Administrator and we have moved to larger premises with another two consultants."

"We'd like to thank the staff at Clarendon Business Centre for all the help and support they have given, allowing us to establish a strong UK presence, whilst controlling budgets and allowing us to grow successfully."

Did You Know...?
It is widely reported that Sir Isaac Newton invented the cat flap!

What's more, he made two - one for his cat, and a smaller one for his kittens, perhaps not appreciating that his kittens could use the larger one too! Otherwise, he was quite good at science ;-)
