New home gets ready for John Packer move

John Packer Ltd will soon have a new state of the art home.

  John Packer will be moving to new premises

After 15 years at their home in Taunton, John Packer Ltd. is expanding to pastures new!

The international growth of the company means a move from their rather higgledy-piggledy shop to a new state of the art premises that can accommodate their global needs.

Under the same roof

A spokesperson told 4BR: "For some years the company has been running on multiple sites so making a move up the road to Chelston Business Park between Taunton and Wellington to a new 10,000 sq ft facility will incorporate the shop, offices and warehousing has been rather necessary!

The staff really can't wait to all work under the same roof!"

Specialist service

While the address (with an opening date to be conformed) John Packer informed 4BR that they will still be providing the same level of renowned specialist service, with a designated shop space and practice rooms for customers.

On site parking will be free and the shop will have full disabled access.
