NEAL'S YARD REMEDIES, DORSET

Visit: Monday 10 April, 9.00, £10.00/£8.00

Neal's Yard Remedies, retailer of natural toiletries, decided to move from South London to Dorset to bring them closer to the horticultural ingredients that form the basis of their products. Completed April 2005, their new £1.95 million factory, warehouse and office building – ‘Peacemarsh’ at Gillingham, Dorset – is set in a hinterland of herb and flower cultivation on a site that slopes gently towards the south west from where it overlooks open countryside.

The building design is intended to reflect the ideals of the company through the pursuance of a strong social and environmental agenda and a carefully considered response to the building’s operational requirements. This has created a sustainable building which suits the organisation and is both unique and distinctive.

Alex Morris, project architect with Feilden Clegg Bradley Architects, will give a talk and tour of the building along with Andrew Purvis, Managing Director of Neal's Yard Remedies.
