Our office expansion…
We hope you enjoyed reading about Gem’s new team members last month. This month, we are delighted to share even more exciting news: We are expanding our office space. We moved into Tuition House eight years ago and since then our team has doubled in size so this extra space is very much needed as our team and our client base continue to grow!
We have been fortunate to secure additional office space next to our current office on the 4th floor, with the new lease signed at the beginning of the month.
Working closely with the excellent and very competent on-site builders at Tuition House, we have completely renovated the new space and decorated it with our colour palette. We have now moved into the new office space to allow the builders to carry out phase two of the renovation – to give our current office a facelift to match the new space.
We are very much looking forward to the end of November when we will be working in our fully integrated office. The new office will have four new client meeting rooms, plenty of desks and meeting tables, together with a new staff kitchen and dining area. Watch this space for updates and photos of our gleaming new Gem office!
It will be business as usual while this work takes place and any meetings you may have booked with your Financial Planner during this period will take place virtually.
Sponsorship at the Merton Best Business Awards
For those clients who follow us on social media, you may have noticed that we were the proud sponsors of the Best Customer Service award at the Merton Best Business Awards this year. These awards recognise businesses in Merton for their excellence, innovation and brilliance.
Merton Chamber has been congratulating and rewarding the innovators, the success stories and the entrepreneurs of the borough since 2013.
Gem & Co have been fortunate enough to win a few of these awards over the years. However, this year we turned the table to give back to the community. We were truly honoured to sponsor the Best Customer Service award presented by our own MD Gareth!
