Kent Office Space welcomes PIEAT – Potential In Everyone Academy Trust – to office 9. PIEAT undertook a lengthy search for sizable office space in Kent that was suitable for their team. The Trust were therefore delighted to discover Kent Office Space, which opened for the first time in September.
Keen to move, the PIEAT team took residency in October, using temporary trestle tables as desks. PIEAT are now three months into their tenancy and are fully settled. They have proper desks and storage. The team are enjoying the extra office space in Kent and the perks of being in a central location with shared facilities.
About PIEAT
Potential In Everyone Academy Trust is a Multi-Academy Trust that supports a number of schools in the Swale region to raise expectations and standards in order to provide students with a first class education.
The CEO, David Whitehead and his team have successfully improved the performance of several schools in Kent. The Trust says its core purpose is to:
“Maintain good and outstanding schools, and to ensure the rapid improvement of schools which need support in the future.”
Why did PIEAT chose Kent Office Space?
Based in Sittingbourne, within proximity of the A249, the M2 and M20, Kent Office Space offers its tenants a central location. This was a key consideration for PIEAT when searching for new office space in Kent, as the trust currently works with four schools in the Swale area, including Minterne Junior School, Bredgar CEP, Borden CEP and The Oaks Infants.
Before they moved in to Kent Office Space, the team were restricted by their rural location in terms of direct access to the schools and were unable to host meetings.
Their new office space in Sittingbourne has been quite the reform for PIEAT. Thanks to the direct access to the A249, the team can now easily travel to the schools and can equally welcome visitors in their offices, or host a number of visitors in the communal meeting space.
Shared Office Facilities
Kent Office Space is ideal for small and expanding businesses that requires a professional environment to operate from, with the convenience of sharing running costs with fellow businesses. Among the shared facilities available to Kent Office Space tenants there are:
- Two newly refurbished kitchens, complete with all the modern amenities, including washing up facilities, dishwasher, microwave, storage and a boiling water tap for those tea runs
- A spacious and air-conditioned meeting room with ample space to seat 10 people, with extra standing room available
- Comfortable breakout zones for those informal meetings
- A professional entrance
- Allocated parking
- Disabled access lift
- Washrooms and a shower-room
- Air conditioning throughout
For charities and small businesses, having the option of shared facilities is economical and can provide access to other services that can benefit their business.
“Being a small charitable trust, keeping running costs down is crucial to PIEAT,” explains the Trust Finance Manager.
“We looked a lot of offices before finding Kent Office Space. It was hard to find anything that ticked all the boxes. So, when we heard about the new shared offices at Conqueror Court, and discovered there was an affordable option available, we were utterly delighted. Our new office is just the right size and shape for us, which is great!
“We may have only been here for a short period, but the location has already vastly improved our access to the schools we support, and we couldn’t be happier!”
