Deborah was presented with an award last month (JUNE) for being in the top 30 performers of 330 LighterLife counsellors.

She said: “The Lodge at Whittington Hall is the perfect place for me to base my business so I had no hesitation in committing to a three year lease. The site offers excellent facilities for clients, boasts a lovely setting and benefits from excellent road links. Clients like the privacy of the site and feel safe and secure here.

“Further to my success as a LighterLife counsellor I have trained as a NLP practitioner and clinical hypnotherapist and have decided to base this branch of the business – Mind Over Body – at The Lodge. I will be offering coaching and hypnotherapy for stopping smoking, banishing phobias and weight loss.”

David Clark, head of commercial management at Blue Marble Properties, said: “We are delighted that LighterLife has enjoyed such successful results from the Whittington Hall premises and to hear the positive feedback from Deborah and her clients.

“It is vital that clients using services like Deborah’s find them easily accessible, and feel comfortable while they’re in her care.

We will do everything we can to meet LighterLife’s expectations and help the business continue to flourish.”

The business has taken the accommodation at Brook Court, a three-storey campus-style office building which has a well-appointed reception area, air conditioning, raised access floors, suspended ceilings with recessed lighting, and is DDA compliant.

Whittington Hall is a popular, high specification out-of-town office development with views of the Malvern Hills.

David Clark, head of commercial management at Blue Marble Properties Ltd, said: “We are thrilled that Apex Supply Chain Technologies has joined us. Even though Apex has only been established for four years, it is a massive company operating across the world and their move to Whittington Hall is a huge coup for us.

“For a company operating on this scale excellent transport links are paramount, which is one of the reasons Apex was attracted to us in the first instance.  In addition, we offer an unrivalled parkland style setting, with excellent car parking, that is very close to Worcester city centre. We hope to share in the business’s success and we will do everything we can to meet their expectations and establish a long-standing, rewarding relationship.”

Julian Adams, managing director of Apex Supply Chain Technologies, said that since the business was formed in the USA just four years ago, it had become a global leader providing cost-saving internet-based industrial vending systems and software. Its subsidiary locations needed to be conveniently located to its customers in the UK and throughout Europe.

“Expansion into Europe is a natural progression, as Apex continues to support its rapidly expanding global industrial customer base, along with emerging markets such as healthcare and bioscience,” he explained.

“Whittington Hall provides an ideal location for Apex, offering first-class facilities for our management group, sales and marketing, and technical support teams along with showroom and training facilities.

For over 15 years they have been a leading provider to blue-chip companies of manpower support services for the aerospace and aviation industries. Resource Group provides an integrated offering with extra services including pay roll services, training, mechanical engineering and safety critical software development.

Paul Martin, Business Services Director of Resource Group said:
“We are expanding at such a rate that we needed to consolidate our three existing offices in Worcester into one building. Teme House proved to be an ideal location for us and provides our staff with a modern office in an easily accessible location for both staff and clients, with on-site parking.

David Clark, Head of Commercial Management at Pemberstone added:
“We are delighted to have agreed the lease for the two floors in Teme House to Resource Group. Whittington Hall’s campus style grounds and the high-specification of the offices themselves have a clear appeal to tenants, enough to draw a major occupier like Resource Group away from their city-centre location in Worcester. We worked closely with Resource Group to tailor a package to suit their needs, and we are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to welcoming them to Teme House.”

There have been strong expressions of interest in the remaining 7,000 sq ft on the top floor of Teme House, which boasts spectacular views over the Worcestershire countryside.

The Pemberstone Group has announced that Inksmoor Credit Management Ltd has completed a new 10-year lease for 3,900 sq ft of prime office space at Suite 1, Brook Court, Whittington Hall.

Pemberstone’s Whittington Hall development has now secured lettings amounting to more than 22,500 sq ft in the past nine months – a third of all office lettings in the Worcester district including the city centre and business parks, according to Chamber of Commerce statistics.

Whittington Hall, where Pemberstone has its own headquarters, offers Grade A high specification out-of-town office accommodation with views of the Malvern Hills. It is located near junction 7 of the M5, within two miles of Worcester city centre. It provides a unique opportunity for businesses seeking contemporary offices in a traditional estate setting with direct access to the landlord’s management team.

Brook Court is a three-storey campus-style office building which has a well-appointed reception area, a combined comfort cooling/heating system, fully raised access floors, suspended ceilings with recessed lighting to the latest regulations, and is DDA compliant.

David Clark, head of commercial management at Pemberstone Commercial, said: “We are genuinely excited about Inksmoor joining us. They are still a relatively young company and this is an important phase in their growth. We hope to share in their success and we will strive to deliver as a landlord. The way that we at Pemberstone do business is very much about building long-term relationships, and that is what we hope to achieve with Inksmoor.”

The letting builds on Pemberstone’s recent success in securing leases of 14,000 sq ft in Teme House to The Resource Group, and Suite 2 in Brook Court for 4,700 sq ft in the summer to another company.

Mr Clark added: “The lease to Inksmoor will bring completed lettings to over 22,500 sq ft in the past nine months alone at a time when times are tough and we are all experiencing recessionary conditions. We are still attracting ambitious companies to Whittington Hall which has to be good news for the region.

“We feel that our success at Whittington Hall is due in part to offering very competitive terms as we adapt to market conditions, but companies are also attracted to the site because they appreciate that it is the premier out-of-town offering in Worcestershire.”

With a strong structure for growth, Inksmoor is relocating to Whittington Hall from its current offices at Bromyard in Herefordshire.

Director Sarah Radley said: “We are looking forward to continuing to develop our professional relationships in the Worcestershire area, as well as further afield across the Midlands. Whittington Hall is a high quality and well managed location with facilities that provide a professional environment that will enable Inksmoor to continue with our current and future plans and recruit the best individuals to help us achieve our goals.”

Enquiries for Suite 4, Brook Court (4,680 sq ft) and the second floor of Teme House (7,183 sq ft) are invited.
