BRICKS AND MORTAR Prezzo no longer 173 High Street “Just before we arrived, of course it was Prezzo”, Kevin Scott of Herbert Scott grins. “When we took on the new lease, we transformed the space in six weeks: three weeks ripping everything out that was left behind – built-in freezers, the pizza oven. There was a lot of mess – for instance, an enormous extractor fan coated in grease. It was a big clearing-up job. They even left their long-handled pizza shovel. Upstairs, on our roof terrace, we have kept the giant Prezzo umbrellas.” So what of the building? Downstairs, in its brand new incarnation, is a lovely open-plan office seating around twenty, and two meeting rooms. The air conditioning greets me. Upstairs is an even more open space – “laid out café style” – and the roof terrace, with a great view of the castle. “Back in the early 80s I used to work for National Westminster, and was in this building when it snowed and I couldn’t travel. It had oak-panelled walls then.” Kevin smiles as we both glance round at the new, light and airy, open-plan offices. The Nat West premises were, according to a recent survey, a 1927 replacement for an earlier historic building on the site. But the distinctive front of the building dates from its time as a bank: with the moulded stone plinth, and ‘semi-ornamental undersized bricks’ that give it its charming and rather commanding face onto the High Street. Kevin says the old building that stood on the site originally probably dates from the 17th Century. (The excellent Reeves photo, Tom Reeves tells me, is from soon after the 1920s renovation – when it was ‘National Provincial Bank’. ‘The manager was Mr Palmer’, Tom writes…) So, why the move here for Herbert Scott? “For the 23 years we’ve been in business, we’ve never had our own front door. We spent three years in Station Street, ten years on the second floor of Temple House – where Seasalt is – and nine years upstairs in St Anne’s House, on St Anne’s Hill. Now, at last, we can look after a client’s experience from start to finish of a visit. We’re having a moving-in party in October. And then we want to start sharing the space with the wider community: hosting public seminars in our upstairs room on all sorts of personal finance topics – estate planning, setting up a trust for grandchildren etc.” Herbert Scott was founded in 1996 by Kevin Scott and David Herbert. “People often assume Herbert Scott was a person – although probably from a few generations back...” So, has he called his son Herbert, maybe? No! “He’s named after something else,” laughs Kevin. “I’m always surprised there aren’t more Harveys in Lewes…” Charlotte Gann herbertscott.co.uk 99
