Roman Cooper, Gary Cooper, Dave Phillips and Gerard Cooper at the new Allcooper head office
Allcooper Group has completed its move to a new head office, located in the centre of Gloucester. The site is a former car dealership and sits in a prominent position on Kingsholm Road, an area famous for being the home of Gloucester Rugby. Allcooper Group acquired the building in September 2015 and under the stewardship of company director, Roman Cooper, it has since undergone a major transformation.
“Overseeing the move has been a huge challenge but it’s one I’ve personally really enjoyed getting stuck in to,” explained Roman Cooper. “The building was in need of a lot of care and significant investment. Our plan was to strip it back and start again, so we could tailor it to meet the specific needs of the business going forward. We’ve injected a new lease of life into the entire site and I think you can really see how we’ve looked to create a modern facility for our staff, where the business can continue to grow and develop.”
In addition to a change of location, the move to Kingsholm coincides with a milestone for the business – this year marks Allcooper’s Group’s 30th Anniversary.
Roman said: “We’re all immensely proud to have been in business for 30 years. Having started off with just my father (Gary Cooper), brother (Gerard Cooper) and myself doing almost everything between us, to now having over 100 staff and further offices in London and Birmingham, it’s amazing to look back on how far the business has come.”
