Welcome to Rugby Vintage Gelato who have opened on Church Street. Bringing a huge range of rainbow-coloured sundaes, American and Belgian style waffles, sweet crepes and pancakes, cookie dough dessert, cakes and of course gelato to the town.
With sixteen different gelato flavours, including pistachio, Nutella and Oreo, the dessert parlour also serves eight different milkshake flavours and – just what we need in this Autumnal weather – nine different blends of hot chocolate.
As well as extending their opening hours, Anna Lorimer Art and Framing has introduced a new range of blank greeting cards for all occasions, showcasing her beautiful prints of places and scenes from across the globe. Available now for just £2.95 each. Anna Lorimer is your go-to place for a framing service for all types of artwork, including posters, prints, embroideries, textiles, memorabilia, sporting shirts and watercolours. All artwork is handled with great care and only conservation grade materials are used.
Work has started on transforming Chestnut House on North Street into Rugby’s first co-working space.
Bloom.Space offers more than just a desk and high speed WiFi. Members have access to a wide range of expertise, mentorship and our network of 100+ alumni. Bloom.Space Rugby will be a bright, safe, well kitted-out space of individual work stations and private meeting rooms, in a flexible environment to meet businesses and freelancer needs.
We are delighted to announce that for the fourth year in a row, Rugby First has received the Gold standard result for the British Standards audit (BS 7958).
During the non-compulsory audit, an independent auditor from the Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board looks at every detail of the CCTV operation. This includes training and competence of the CCTV operators, the procedures of data release as well as the general health and safety of the employees and office environment. We would like to thank our operations team for their continued high standards in achieving this accreditation.
