Graysons Solicitors Chesterfield New Premises Launch

Graysons Chesterfield New Premises Launch

Alan Pennington Art • November 16, 2022

I was contacted Graysons by Solicitors to create a series of locally inspired artworks for their Chesterfield branch office move to The Glass Yard...

Anyone who has visited The Glass Yard, Chesterfield will know just how great this place is. From incredible eateries to ultra-cool specialist and artisan shops, its a great location, easy to find and has loads of parking.

As soon as I stepped into what was going to become Graysons new Chesterfield Office, I loved it. The space is so fresh, modern and has a great urban/industrial vibe to it. It was however, missing one thing... Some Alan! After a great site visit with the Graysons team, I set to work on a series of vibrant artworks to adorn the walls ready for the the big launch. Each piece features a well-known or hidden gem of Chesterfield; there's more than the famous Crooked Spire, you know :D

I first met Peter and the Graysons team in 2017 when they were preparing to re-locate their offices to a newer and larger space in Sheffield City Centre. Peter wanted to discuss having some Sheffield inspired artwork created for the walls of their new offices (you can read my blog about it here) and since then we have had a great working relationship on a number of fantastic projects, from Charity causes to Premier Sponsorships.

Graysons Chesterfield branch had been located at Saltergate for a number of years, but were about to move to an awesome new Office based at The Glass Yard, Chesterfield. The space is stunning, modern and has a very trendy urban/industrial vibe to it. Heres the fun part, what artwork would suit the space!? We ran through a number of ideas of what would be good to feature and decided vibrant, bold pieces depicting some of Chesterfields best known and loved locations would look great.

If you're stopping by Graysons Chesterfield branch, make sure to grab an amazing donut or wood fired pizza from the Glass Yard whilst you're there, you won't regret it!

On 16th November 2022, Grayson’s Chesterfield opened it’s doors for the official launch with an evening of food, drinks and great company at The Glass Yard, Chesterfield. The evening was a huge success, with hundreds of guests joining the Lord Mayor of Chesfterfield, Councillor Tony Rogers, as he cut the ribbon and officially unveiled the new offices. I met so many lovely people that evening and was thrilled to talk them through the pieces and any hidden details within them.
