commercial estate

“Our small business has grown to a point where we needed a much larger storage space we felt safe and looked after, regular commercial sites do not hold the magic and history that is within the Dockyard. When you enter the property there is an immediate feeling of family and community, something we value highly.

Matt in the estates team has been more than accommodating in finding a solution to bring us into the space. The team have been professional, responsive and realistic with the current climate. He understood our needs and worked to match what we were looking for with what the estate had available.

We’ve moved into a space we’re really happy with, we hope from there we will grow into something larger on site when it becomes available as we see a long-term partnership with the Dockyard team.

We’re excited for the future and look forward to our time with the team and surrounding community.”

“We looked at a few different premises for our growing & expanding business but chose the Dockyard because we fell in love with the charm and history of the location as well as onsite facilities & how quirky and atmospheric our new unit is. We also love the friendly business & professional vibe with the huge variety of businesses on site. The whole process has been smooth and easy. Matt, in particular, has been amazing. He has been very accommodating, friendly, supportive, answered our many questions with ease and has helped us feel confident and happy in our decision.”

“Beaming decided to open a new office at The Historic Dockyard Chatham, as part of our expansion plans, as it meant we could have technical and sales staff permanently situated closer to our data centres and to our Kent and London customers. We were drawn to the environment’s blend of old and new, echoing the success of our Hastings headquarters. The historic setting, with its legacy of cutting-edge innovation for global reach, perfectly complements our R&D function now based in Chatham. There is always something to learn or see in the Dockyard, something that will attract the right talent to our company, whilst making it easy for those who work in sales to have somewhere to take customers and spark an interesting conversation. The facilities are very comfortable, the estate team very welcoming and the location secure, and we genuinely feel part of a wider business community in the Dockyard.”

“We have recently opened our office at the Historic Dockyard Chatham, and the estates team has been extremely helpful and accommodating. It is inspiring to work within a site that has played such a pivotal role in our country’s history. The buildings have been thoughtfully updated to provide a modern feel while maintaining their traditional features. This site offers a unique and memorable experience for our clients, and we are proud to support a charity that ensures the continued operation and restoration of such a prestigious and historically significant area.”

“We chose to take an office at the Historic Dockyard Chatham because of the desirability of the location; it has always been a dream of MFSE to be able to grow our already established business in such a beautiful and historic location.

If that wasn’t enough the exceptional quality of service from the estates team Matt Sanderson in particular with efficiency of getting the admin side done and also going above and beyond to show us the site and a bit of a tour which was fantastic and showed just how much businesses and people are valued at the Historic Dockyard and that we are not just a number and there is real care from the team and support that we would not get anywhere else.

I am excited to be a part of the community but also come and show my family and friends what they are missing by not visiting the site.”
