ONE of Wokingham’s top civic societies has given the seal of approval to the restoration of a town centre building.
Last autumn, Martin & Co opened its new offices in Peach Street, refurbishing the historic Corn Chandlers which had been a pet shop for many years.
Now, The Wokingham Society has praised the project to breathe new life into the historic building, saying that they were pleased.
In a letter to the business owners Mike and Erica Townend, the Chairman of The Wokingham Society, Peter Must, wrote: “Now that the conversion work has been completed, the Society’s Executive Committee has asked me to tell you how pleased we are with the appearance of the building, and with the considerate use of materials to achieve this outcome.”
Mr Townend said “We are delighted that our stunning premises in Peach Street have received this accolade from The Wokingham Society.
“All our staff love the working environment here and we always get a positive comment from visitors to the office. In our opinion, the appearance of the office, both inside and outside, epitomises and enhances our objectives of offering a high quality, professional and friendly service.”
