Edition1 Spring2009
Welcome to the first edition of Trading News produced by Tadley and District Chamber of Trade. We want this newsletter to help our members by informing them of Chamber news and events and by promoting local businesses.
The Chamber of Trade was founded in 1963 by a group of local business people. Mr Whatmore, owner of a small supermarket and chemist where Sainsbury’s car park now is, was the first Chairman. Tommy Marks, owner of a butcher’s shop on New Road was Vice Chairman and Jim Burgess was the Secretary. Jim’s wife Jean owned Burwoods shop where Pedal On now is. The Chamber currently has a membership of 174.
Each year both social and business events are held. In 2008 there were speaker evenings, speed networking to introduce businesses to each other and a Christmas dinner.
The Chamber also makes donations to local organisations, for example in 2008, a Bouncy Castle was purchased for Tadley Community Centre.
Chamber News75 Chamber members and friends enjoyed a Christmas Dinner and Dance at Sandford Springs Golf Club in early December 2008. The beautiful table decorations were provided by 101 Carnations and the disco by Pink Elephant. The evening was such a success a booking has already been made for 2009!
The Roundabout Book 2009 has been delivered to 10,000 houses in Tadley and District by the Air Training Cadets. This is an enormous task and the Chamber of Trade is grateful for their help and a significant donation has been made to their funds.

Young’s Industrial Estate Aldermaston
Young’s Industrial Estate at Paices Hill, Aldermaston, is one of the longest-established industrial estates in West Berkshire. Family owned and run, it offers thriving
businesses a secure environment in which to grow.
“It has been an industrial estate since the early 1980s,” explained Roy Young, the company secretary for owners Young (Aldermaston) Developments Ltd. “My
grandfather, Ralph Young bought the land back in 1961 when it was the Turner & Hunter timber yard and it had planning permission for gravel extraction. “After the gravel was extracted, we restored the land and got permission for industrial units and it started from there. We have such a diverse range of businesses here and it has created quite a community where people help each other out and buy from one another.”
“Most of our 56 industrial units are occupied, although after recently redeveloping one block, the last new
unit is available to let. Two self-contained offices below Young’s estate office have been professionally refurbished by Newbury Interiors and are now available to let.”
“We also have several older style units available and having demolished another set of buildings there will be the opportunity to join us on the estate as we create new units there too.”
With so much happening on this commercial area, the tenants receive a quarterly newsletter, YOUNG Times, which gives them news and views from the estate.
Roy Young continued: “Our website, www.youngsindustrialestate.co.uk launched in 2006, gives details of any units available to let, and lists all our current tenants, gives details on Paices Wood Country Parkland – which is a thriving nature park – and includes details for Seven Lakes Angling, our fishery set within the beautiful park.
