Competitive Training Rooms and Professional Environment

Aug. 1st 2009

Real Selling Sales Training established five years ago and provides specialist sales training throughout Kent and the South East of England.

“We relocated from Surrey to Kent and our key focus was to find training rooms with a professional environment at competitive rates. Hotel rooms can be very expensive and the atmosphere is generally impersonal. We tried many options and found that we were just a reference number booking a training room for a day.

Through networking we came across Kent Space in Chatham and have never looked back. The building offers a large reception area which is perfect for greeting clients; the meeting rooms can be booked by the hour, half day or full day. Our training requires audio visual screens, flipcharts, white boards and internet access which are all included in the room hire. Catering is booked according to our requirements and there is a spacious coffee break out area; ideal for everyone to stretch out and chat between training sessions.

Price wise the meeting rooms are extremely competitive and considering we cannot run our training business without them we have been delighted with managing these costs.  A second reason for choosing these facilities was the professional environment and first class customer service. The team at Kent Space provide a very personal service; from our guests being looked after upon arrival to checking our every need before, during and after each booking. Nothing is too much trouble, and our clients come into the building feeling welcomed from the minute they step in, to the minute they leave our training sessions.

Parking is perfect and Kent Space is located just two miles from junction 3 of the M2 and five miles from junction 6 of the M20; all our clients can easily find our training rooms.

Our courses are typically one or two days and the clients vary from professional corporations such as accountants and solicitors to manufacturers, retailers, charities and a whole range of businesses. We get a lot of recommendations and we find it is just as important to provide good training as it is to be situated in a nice building and professional atmosphere.

The training facilities at Kent Space also suit our public workshops perfectly, and this has prompted us to run our confident cold calling and real sales skills workshops at Kent Space this September.

Kent Space goes that extra mile and provides great value for money. We can even book instant office or desk space as and when we need”, Paul Routley, Real Selling Sales Training.

Bright Offices and Creative Storage in Demand

Jul. 1st 2009

Finding good office accommodation and practical storage space with flexible licences is not that easy to find, even in today’s environment with numerous vacant buildings. Close proximity to the motorways, free parking; space to meet clients, hold meetings, store archive files and retail stock is a unique offering.

Suzanne Knowles of Kent Space set up 16 months ago and created fully serviced offices and self storage all on one site.

“The bright and airy offices, together with the household and business storage facility are in demand. Everyone who comes to view us comments on the light and spacious environment. No one is made to feel alone, we have created a community feel to the building so that people can meet in the coffee break out area, visit the retail shop for their stationery and packaging needs, and come into reception to meet their clients”, says Suzanne.

Two companies recently commented on their experiences when searching for space to run their businesses. Lesley Hedges of HIT Training had been looking at what seemed like hundreds of offices all over Kent as the company had outgrown its current accommodation and Lynette Stock of Artist Paint Box found the perfect solution for her shop.

“I‘m part of a national company and manage Hospitality Industry Training, known as HIT Training for the whole of the Kent area. We provide training to pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes and a variety of businesses. Food hygiene and health and safety licences have to be renewed regularly and we need to keep copies of all qualifications in our archives.

Having been established for three years we grew and needed more office space. I looked at many buildings within the region of Kent and found they were dark, with lonely corridors, lacked space for our files and felt more like prison cells with closed doors and minimal windows. Once I walked into Kent Space I was really impressed. The offices were so bright and welcoming. There was space to put all our archive files in safe storage and meeting rooms to book when we need them. The location is right off the motorway, there is plenty of parking, and because we now have the best offices in the SE region all our national meetings are held in our location. When staff arrive they can go and make coffee and sit in the break out area to unwind after a long drive. The building is clean, bright and safe; once viewed one would never look elsewhere”, Lesley Hedges, HIT Training.

Lynette Stock of Artist Paint Box had quite a different need for space. She has been in business for four and a half years selling art materials, but found the cost of her shop rent too much so decided to create an online service for her products.

“My husband has office space at Kent Space and suggested that I come and view the self storage area to keep all my stock. I liked the set up very much as there is a wonderful reception area to meet clients and then show them the products for purchase. I can keep all my stock clean, safe and dry. When customers order from the internet or call me for canvasses, modelling equipment or anything they need I simply go into my self storage unit and pack the items ready for postage or delivering in person if they live locally. This is a great solution to my business and just because I closed a shop it does not mean I closed a business, instead I can offer good deals and have widened my client base”, Lynette Stock, Artist Paint Box.
