Success for Faringdon’s Weaver Khan
Architects
Friends since their university days, Calvin Weaver
and Saeed Khan started their business in April 2006.
Living in Swindon and Oxford, Faringdon was a natural
half way point, and having received valuable business
start-up advice and support from the Faringdon
Enterprise Gateway, situated in the Faringdon
Business Centre, the centre was an ideal location for
their first office.
Saeed Khan said, “Myself and Calvin had talked
about starting our own business for some time and
with both of us looking to move jobs simultaneously
last year, the time was finally right.
The Faringdon Business Centre helped us overcome many
of the initial concerns and obstacles that can be
part and parcel of starting out for the first time on
your own. The flexibility and freedom provided by the
monthly, easy in – easy out licence meant that
we weren’t tied into a 3 or 5 year lease, which
would have just been far too personally risky for
us.”
He continued, “Running and growing a young
business is not only pressurising, but can also be
isolating. Having other new businesses situated in
the same business centre gave us a network of other
people in the same boat, which we found extremely
encouraging and supportive.
We are delighted to have grown our business to the
extent that we now need to expand into larger
premises. I would recommend the Faringdon Business
Centre to other new businesses - I compare the
service and support we received in our first year of
trading to having stabilisers on a bike and our
business is now ready to remove those stabilisers and
ride off on our own.”
Jan Houldcroft, Premises Manager at the Faringdon
Business Centre said, “We are committed to
improving the local economy and contributing to
Faringdon’s development by helping businesses
here grow and succeed. We hope that all our clients
go on to achieve success like this and view their
expansion as a measure of our own success.”
