Office Space to let
in Apsley
Renting office space from the Apsley Paper Trail Trust is to be part of the important history and culture of the Gade River Valley where Apsley and Hemel Hempstead are located. Being the buildings that once housed the thriving local paper industry, our offices are far from bland and anonymous. Paper is to Apsley what steel is to Sheffield, or lace to Nottingham. Our rooms are the same rooms that local paper tycoon John Dickinson worked from, where John Dickinson & Co. grew to international fame and The British Paper Company was housed. In 1803 the first ever mechanised paper machine, the “Fourdrinier”, was installed at Frogmore Paper Mill in Apsley, and John Dickinson’s Cylinder Mould Machine was developed and installed at Apsley Mills in 1809.
Our Office Space
The John Dickinson Enterprise Centre (JDEC) on The Paper Trail’s Apsley Mills site is a purpose-designed office space refurbishment for start-up and small business users…
Originally a single side, this building was extended in about 1927 to form three sides around a pleasant garden, with the Apsley War Memorial near to London Road…
Frogmore Mill first made paper in 1774 and was home to the birthplace of paper’s Industrial Revolution. Still a working mill, it is now run by the Apsley Paper Trail charity…
What our residents say…
I highly recommend the offices at Frogmore Paper Mill, I have been a tenant for over 7 years and the whole team go out of their way to accommodate the needs of my business
We have been tenants of Frogmore Paper Mill for over 2 years to date, during that time we have found our landlords to be very supportive and responsive to all of our needs. They have provided Bauxite with a genuinely personal service at prices we could not have achieved elsewhere. Even when we upside to a larger office within the same building, they were flexible in their approach which I don’t believe is the case with a normal tenant/landlord relationship. I have encouraged friends and colleagues to seriously think about relocating to our premises.
We have been using the office space at the JDEC for over 15 years which evidently shows how happy we are here. The location is great as the M1 and M25 are within easy reach plus there is a local pub and a Sainsbury’s within a few minutes walk. Parking is good and is monitored which stops people abusing it to use the train station over the road. The management of the site and their staff are all very friendly and attentive when necessary. Any issue within the office can be raised via phone or email and then it is always looked into and rectified fairly quickly. All of the buildings have good intruder alarm systems and the fact the site has 24 hour security response is an added bonus.
Overall we are very happy with the office space and site. We would highly recommend the office space to anyone who is looking.
