Summerfield Commercial has welcomed two new businesses to its popular office complex near Taunton town centre, located within the refurbished former shirt factory it has proudly owned for nearly 40 years.
Landscaping and construction company Alfie’s has taken a 570 sq ft suite on the ground floor of the three storey Viney Court. Meanwhile, Italian born interior designer Ellie Stella has secured 600 sq ft on the ground floor for her business, Stella Creations.
Summerfield bought the former Van Heusen shirt factory on Victoria Street in 1987, transforming it into a range of high quality offices of various sizes across the buildings known as Victoria House and Viney Court. The buildings benefit from a Café, conference rooms and onsite parking.
Alfie’s has grown from a garden landscaping business into a comprehensive service provider ranging from design, maintenance, tree surgery and patios to include construction of extensions, roofs, kitchens and bathrooms. Now also selling garden furniture and accessories along with being the local Laura Ashley stockist for outdoor furniture.
Owner Alfie Isaacs said he was pleased to have moved into Viney Court as this space helped him offer customers a welcoming and accessible environment where they can meet and discuss their projects in a relaxed setting.
Ellie Stella, owner of Stella Creations @Home and Stella Creations Upholstery, has been established in Taunton with her business for the last nine years. She worked in London and the North before studying at the National Design Academy and then settling in Taunton. Ellie is also delighted to be joining the community at Viney Court. Her businesses specialise in bespoke curtains, blinds, shutters and upholstery and the new space will enable her to showcase the materials she uses.
