Chris Orr's dream of owning his own premises has just received some divine inspiration!
For nearly 30 years a chapel in the heart of Southampton, which dates back to the 1840s, has stood empty and neglected.
However with the help of South and Solent Building Preservation Trust, which sympathetically converted the interior to office space, and finance from NatWest bank, Chris has been able to fulfil two dreams - buying his own premises and finding somewhere which befits his creative business.
Chris started his business, which now employs seven people and provides design and marketing solutions to businesses of all types and sizes, in 1989.
He is so delighted with his new found home that he has renamed the company from Chris Orr.com to Chapel Design & Marketing in honour of it. Chris said: "The premises in the heart of Southampton are fantastic and what makes it better is that in doing so I've helped to secure the future of this great building. We couldn't find any better identity than the building."
