Pate's Grammar School - new Sixth form and library
Orchard Square, the historic docks and towards Gloucester Cathedral. Quattro took over the site from the Gloucester Antiques Centre and set about making the most of the natural character the building has. Huge vinyl murals showing the docks of old adorn the walls of the stairwells, while the open plan offices make the most of the original brickwork and wooden beams of the warehouse. Mr Court said: “When the last of our previous directors decided to retire five years ago, we made the decision to close our Bristol office as it was, by then, the smaller of the two. “A lot of the staff lived in Gloucestershire, and we
wanted to focus on the county. We have been going great guns ever since." “It’s a great area, when we moved in there weren’t that many businesses here – more have arrived since and it has become a wonderful environment to work in." “We use the Quays, we bring our families here. It’s a great and vibrant area for the staff to be in every day." “The office is open and visible, how it used to be.We still get the odd person asking for the Antiques Centre, now.” You’ve probably walked straight past the entrance on High Orchard Street in the heart of the Quays without noticing they are there. In a way, that reflects the modesty of Quattro as a company.
