Peregrine Bryant has been working on historic buildings for decades and in 2014 was asked to undertake some work to assess opportunities to make the most of Stationers' Hall.

Soft strip in progress

21 JANUARY 2021

Work continues apace on the destructive start to the Vision 350 Project as the "soft strip" sees the rooms we have known steadily, and yet very carefully, dismantled. Don't let the images make you sad although they are grim. Rather, focus on the progress and the end result!

Progress slow but sure

We have received some great photos from David Valentine of what is happening at the Hall in terms of the Vision 350 development.

New Office Signage

From the perspective of knowing what a huge project this is, the start may appear to have been a bit slow but much, although not hugely visible, progress has been made.

Vision 350 – first steps along an exciting road

19 NOVEMBER 2020

During October 2020 the task of packing up the office was added to the many duties and responsibilities of those who work at Stationers’ Hall. While technicians undertook specialist work in preparing an IT move to ‘the Cloud’ (successfully completed, although new ways are having to be learned!) and various other trades were on site assessing the tasks ahead (including secure asbestos removal) the piles of boxes grew ever taller and it was a relief finally to have them move into the new premises.
