“We'd just like to say a few words regards the excellent level of service we received when relocating to Folkestone Basepoint. Moving house and business at the same time over one weekend is no easy task and we wouldn't recommend it, however what really made it easy in relocating the business was the flexibility of Basepoint and the professionalism of the staff that run the Folkestone centre. From our initial enquiry right through to the actual move the correspondence, service and help has been great. Compared to what you get on other local industrial/office parks Basepoint is so much more in tune with what clients need, from instant high speed broadband and phones to onsite meeting facilities and cafe. We'd recommend Basepoint to anyone looking to relocate or start their business. The Basepoint set up allows you to focus on your business while everything else you'll need is taken care of.”

“Basepoint make premises rental so straightforward and friendly, that it leaves me to concentrate on running my business and helping my clients in the same, smooth fashion that they do. I have rented from a number of different landlords/companies over the last 11 years and Basepoint are by far, the best of these. They came strongly recommended to me and I would now gladly do the same to other potential tenants.”
Steve Taylor - We Work With Data
“Since moving in to the centre we have been made welcome, not only by other tenants, but also by the Basepoint staff. The Assistant Manager, regularly goes above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating, as does the Centre Manager. The centre is busy it makes a great place to network with other like minded companies. There is also a large car park, and street parking within the local area, and as there is no allocated parking there is no arguments over who parks where. On top of all the facilities provided by Basepoint, there is an onsite cafe (Amy's Cafe) where the customer friendly owner and staff will go out of their way to accommodate any requests.”

“It is a year now since I officially took on my unit at Basepoint, Shearway Business Park, Folkestone. I live very close to the offices and previously operated my accountancy business purely from home but reached the point where I had outgrown the space available there. I looked at various offices but was impressed by the security offered by your offices and the all-inclusive rental payment. The takeover was straightforward and I was able to move in over a period of time to suit me. The offices were clean and well decorated when I moved in, and the well maintained communal areas in and around the building make you want to retain this level of cleanliness. The management and reception staff are always friendly but professional, and look to generate a community spirit within the complex. You are left very much to get on with your work but at the same time feel part of a working community. I now aim to spend an increased amount of time at the offices as my work output definitely increases when I am working there. I would be happy to recommend the offices to anyone looking for self-contained, secure, clean and reasonably priced office accommodation.”

“Basepoint was an obvious choice to us when we recently set up our new specialist practice. The office we have is just what we need and the Basepoint team could not have been more helpful from the outset with our smallest query always receiving a prompt response.”

“Following 10 years at Basepoint, Jayne comments: “I am extremely happy at the centre, it feels like a second home to us. Due to the nature of our work, many of our clients come from quite far afield. Therefore being in such a good location, close to the M20 makes it very easy for people to reach us. It is also a great environment to work in, there is always a buzzing atmosphere and it has provided us with many contacts within the local business community.””
Jayne Goss - Just Jaynes

The team are excellent at providing a good service when helping with our requirements and the handy man is always around to fix minor problems. We never have to ask more than once. The building provides excellent meeting rooms when required, with refreshments if needed and a pleasant cafeteria for light meals throughout the day as required. I have no hesitation in recommending this complex to any potential customers.”

“The Basepoint management team are always willing to help you if needed and also the presentation of the Centre is always clean and tidy, which is inviting for my customers coming to view our bathrooms, which is important to us. I would like to say a big thank you to the Basepoint staff.”
Simon Bullman - Pro-Plumb
“When we started out 2½ years ago it was in the middle of the recession so starting a new business was quite a risk wherever we were. Our business is a ‘destination’ business so we didn't need to be on a High Street, but we did need easy access, local parking and good light. We quickly saw that this could meet our requirements. So what does Basepoint offer us – 1 – easy contract terms – if things didn't go as planned we were not tied into a long lease. 2 – easy access to the premises when we needed to be here. 3 – good parking 4 – when we outgrew our original unit within the first year, we were able to move to a larger unit with ease. 5 – feeling part of a small business community where people look out for each other and support each other with receipt of deliveries, maintenance etc 6 – If we have problems or concerns the management team are approachable and accessible and get things sorted”

“In deciding where to locate our business we discovered Basepoint, Folkestone. We found the complex of offices to be extremely well connected, being only a couple of minutes drive from junction 13 of the M20, the complex offers a wide range of accommodation with ample parking and excellent security together with great easy-in-easy-out contracts. Our move into the premises was extremely well taken care of and within the same day we were up and running with internet and telephone services. The staff are very courteous and friendly and do a great job of maintaining a high standard of accommodation and facilities for all the residents. We would have no hesitation in recommending any existing business or new start-up business to consider moving to the Basepoint Centre in Folkestone.”

“On behalf of Precise Plumbing Ltd I would like to express my thanks and gratitude for the outstanding service we received from you. Due to inclement weather causing the closure of our Offices last week, we were faced with the difficult decision of relocating with immediate effect or standing firm and awaiting the repair of power lines in the area. I am delighted to say, this was one of the easiest decisions we've made!! The whole process of contacting you, viewing and relocating took less than 6 hours!! We were very impressed with the facilities and, 'sold' at the prospect of relocating to a more central area in order to grow our rapidly expanding business. The Centre Manager was very professional in her approach and she is a credit to your Company. Well done Basepoint”

““Having our company office in a unit in Folkestone Basepoint for the last 3 years, has been an enormous help in the growth of our business. It has facilitated the critical stage of our evolution from being two partners working from their respective “home offices”, to a properly structured team with employees providing back office support. Having a conference/meeting room on site, that we only paid for when we needed it, has also been a benefit. Although our business has now reached the point where we are moving on, I would thoroughly recommend Basepoint to anyone embarking on the journey we have been on over the last few years”.”

No issue is too great - both the manager and her assistant are readily available, always smart and very professional - a very good front of house representation for the centre.
