Aviation training company flies into new Clevedon offices

Commercial property consultants Alder King in Bristol have let a large office suite at Rivermead Court in Clevedon to Bristol Groundschool, Europe’s leading specialist aviation training company.

Founded in 1992, the company has relocated to Clevedon from Cheddar to benefit from larger, more modern premises and improved access to and from Bristol for students attending coursework revision sessions.

The first floor suite of 4 Rivermead Court provides 5,260 sq ft of new high quality office accommodation and also includes 21 car parking spaces.  Bristol Groundschool has taken the property on a new 10 year lease with a five year break at a quoting rent of £12 per sq ft.

Tom Dugay of Alder King’s Bristol office agency team said: “While students complete course modules using distance learning, they also need to undertake a series of classroom revision sessions at Bristol Groundschool’s premises to consolidate their learning prior to taking their exams.  Finding modern premises which are easily accessible from the motorway network and Bristol Airport, and with sufficient parking, was key to their requirements.”

Rivermead Court is an established high quality office development constructed over two phases.  Phase 2 includes two buildings, both built to the same high quality specification as Phase 1.  Building 3 is now let to Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health NHS Trust, leaving just one 5,235 sq ft ground floor suite in Building 4.

Alder King acted for a private landlord; Bristol Groundschool was represented by Williams Gunter Hardwick.
