Needing to know the finer points of Holmes Terry.

From 1963 - 1990 the Late BASIL DAVID operated various Companies from 65 High Street.

HOLMES TERRY & CO. LTD., named after a Mr. Holmes & Mr. Terry, was originally a Textiles Company. Each floor of the Building (Basil Chambers) had a different Department e.g. 1st Floor Towels & Sheeting, 2nd Floor Hosiery & Underwear, 3rd Floor Shoes & Outerwear , 4th Floor Clothing, 5th Floor Canteen & 6th Floor Building/General Repairs etc, whilst the Basement was the Packing area.

The Textiles 'operation' was Sold in the late 60's whilst Mr. Basil David retained the Company Name. Mr. Basil David then Purchased and Sold Meyer & Johnston Ltd which was an Oriental and Indian Rug Importer and then started Importing Knitwear under the name of Holmes Terry & Co. Ltd.

In May 1975 Jo-Y-Jo Ltd was formed by Mr. Stanley Fosbury & Mr. Basil David, which successfully operated from 65 High Street until it left the Building in 2003, as Jo-Y-Jo Ltd had outgrown the space offered for Offices to run efficiently from the Building.

After having completed a Business Course, Mr. Gerald David worked with Mr. Basil David from 1971 and also worked with Mr. Stanley Fosbury in Jo-Y-Jo Ltd until he left the Company in 2003.

As a result of Mr. Gerald David no longer being involved in Jo-Y-Jo Ltd, he decided upon Jo-Y-Jo Ltd's decision to vacate the Building, that he would initiatie a full Internal Refurbishment of the 1st - 6th Floors. This was completed in Mid 2006.

Mr. Gerald David has always worked closely with Prospective & Existing tenants in striving to offer a personal service that ensures that Tenant's needs are met wherever practically possible.

We offer a 'HANDS ON APPROACH' to ALL matters regarding to both Basil Chambers & The Landmark, with easy access to the Building's Manager Mr. BRETT SADDLER (on site) and to myself (Gerald David) should Tenant's wish to discuss anything on a daily basis. It is this working relationship that has formed the close bond that we have with ALL Tenants.
