conservative club gillingham kent
We were asked to give this 100 year old venue a makeover and bring it in to the 21st century. We have redesigned the seating arrangements, bar, lightings, floorings, added wooden panelling but reversed the positioning of it and used a metallic gold motif Patten wall covering.
The idea is to attract a new younger influential crowd to the venue but we also took in to account the existing clientele that visit this premises every day, we did not want to push these loyal customers away.
We have gone for a modern day classic look with contemporary furniture, we have softened the overall look of the venue and turned it in to a timeless classic lounge that will appeal to the old and young and be warm and inviting to all.
Build was completed on the 14th October 2011, there opening night on the 15th was a huge success with new members joining, spend per head has increased and most people staying in the venue till closing. We completed what we set out to do and wish our perfect client Stuart Moran all the best for this fantastic venue.
When I first contacted you on behalf of our committee with a view to asking you to re-design our club to bring it into the 21st century, I hoped that, as a result, our dwindling membership figures could be reversed over time. On our first meeting I gave you only one instruction – that the finished product must be appealing to all age groups from 20+ to 80+. The finished product exceeded all our expectations.
Not only was it done to a very high standard and within fairly tight budget constraints, but the workforce you appointed, along with your own staff, were exceptionally accommodating in allowing us to keep trading while some fairly extensive works were being carried out.
We have had nothing but excellent feedback from our members and indeed we have had over 40 new members join in the last 6 months. Our bar takings were up considerably in the last quarter of last year since the completion of the project, and have continued to grow at the same rate so far this year. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending you to any future clients.
Kind regards
Stuart Moran
