RedRoutemaster (trading name of Attend IT) started only four years ago and has now outgrown its first operating base and has completed its move into a new site now known as RedRoutemaster Brentford Dock Rd Garage.
RedRoutemaster’s old location is under threat of redevelopment and like many smaller operators in Greater London it has struggled to find a suitable new location, but thanks to the support lobbying led by the local chamber of commerce, the Brentford Chamber, the London Borough of Hounslow and Brentford Dock Limited, they have managed to secure a new larger site complete with a full functioning office building which fronts the high street.
The move has also allowed the group which also has a IT division to move its head office and all other operating sites to one central location.
