Redstor Online Backup Specialists, Grow and Move

Redstor synonymous with cloud storage and online backups have now moved into their new home on the Kings Road, Reading.

Following 12 years of growth and renting offices within Reading, Redstor decided it was time to buy their own premises and wanted a location which was close to the town centre and to Reading Train Station.

In November 2009, Redstor finally acquired what were the premises of the RAOB club in Kings Road, Reading, comprising some 5000 square feet. After obtaining a change of use permission from Reading Borough Council, Redstor had the task of turning what were club premises, including 3 bars and a skittle alley into a flexible, modern open plan working environment which the Redstor team would be proud of.

“We created a design brief to reflect the evolving nature of our Data Storage and Online Backup Business. In particular, we wanted a place we could demonstrate and showcase our Cloud Storage Solutions and Storage Expertise to our customers and Partners and a place where our team would enjoy working........” said Dominic Anschutz, Redstor’s Operations Manager....“As a result we needed a client facing data centre suite, training and meeting rooms and a flexible working area which would attract natural light, encourage open communication and be conducive to work”

Following the design brief a competitive beauty parade of interested companies to carry out the office transformation project was conducted and Morgan Lovell was selected.

“They fully understood our brief and came up with some innovative ideas and from our first engagement, they were extremely professional and meticulous” commented Tony Ruane, Redstor’s Co-Founder who was heavily involved in formulating the design.

“We engaged a local company to strip out the building and many of the old fixtures and fittings, including bar taps, dance floors, skittle alley were recycled and distributed to local charities, friends and family and local businesses who were happy to take it off our hands.....Following a 3 week strip out, Morgan Lovell took over the site and within 3 weeks had transformed what was a fully operational club site into a modern office which is now our home” said Paul Evans, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Redstor............ “We have been mightily impressed with Morgan Lovell’s professionalism throughout, from design all the way through to execution and handover of the building and now have an office which better meets the demands of our growing business”.

Redstor at Norfolk County Council's ICT in Schools Conference 2010

We've had a successful 2 days exhibiting at the Norfolk County Council ICT in Schools Conference where over 200 delegates attended the conference over the 2 days. These delegates consisted of IT personnel, headteachers and teachers.
We had a great amount of interest in the online backup service with many schools talking about how painful their manual backups are and how an online service would certainly be of benefit!
It was good to support Norfolk Council as their online backup for schools partner.

From the good work at the Conference, we're confident that the ICT Solutions team at Norfolk should be getting requests for the backup service.
