Chamber of commerce relocated to Slough town centre

Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce now operates from new premises at the heart of Slough town centre following a move facilitated by property consultancy Vail Williams.

The Chamber, which has been supporting the regional business community for 75 years, is now based at the Plus X Innovation serviced office space at 2 Brunel Way.

This follows a relocation after 13 years in SEGRO premises at 345 Edinburgh Avenue on the Slough Trading Estate.

The Chamber signed a two-year deal on two office suites and 22 desks located just three minutes from the railway station and adjacent to Slough’s amenities and facilities.

The building comprises private offices, co-working spaces, meeting rooms, breakout spaces and a photography studio, as well as a host of facilities, including a café, gym, rooftop terrace and underground parking.

Regular business support, networking, wellbeing and social events are held on site.

Guy Parkes, partner, Vail Williams, was tasked with securing new premises for the Chamber.

He said: “The Chamber is now based close to many of the businesses it represents and is well established in a vibrant and modern hub of labs, workshops, event space and offices populated by a mix of small to medium firms.

“Plus X Innovation Slough has created a highly productive and collaborative work environment catering for a rich mixture of businesses and we had no hesitation in recommending the site to the Chamber.”

Paul Britton, chief executive at the Chamber, said the new location kept the Chamber well connected with the business communities it represented and served across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Swindon

He said: “Our new office shows our commitment to being accessible, visible, and actively engaged in the business community, supporting business growth across the region.

“Much of the economy is driven by creating confidence in employers, and customers. This new environment is another opportunity to energise our efforts to keep business moving in the Thames Valley.

“Our Chamber has changed and modernised a great deal to reflect the needs of our members, customers and staff in recent years, and our new facilities will help accelerate that evolution.

“We are indebted to Guy and the Vail Williams’ team for securing these premises for us.”
