DESPITE having opened a new 35,000 sq ft headquarters in Henley, Bremont’s founders say their mission is far from accomplished.
Nick and Giles English launched their watch-making venture from the former’s home in 2002, aiming to revive the sector in Britain as it was declining in the face of foreign competition.
Now the brothers say their two-storey base at Sheephouse Farm, off Reading Road, will allow them to hire more staff and ramp up production of their luxury mechanical timepieces.
They have 130 staff, including operators who build parts on site and specialists who assemble the finished product in airtight rooms.

Twins run 148km in aid of children with brain injury );
TEENAGE twins from Binfield Heath ran 148km over a month for a charity.
Tom and Mima Bonser, 13, were raising money for Robbie’s Rehab, which is named after a 10-year-old boy who died from a brain tumour almost five years after his mother died from breast cancer. The money will go towards a new neurological rehabilitation ward for children at University Hospital Southampton. Tom amd Mima completed the distance between Henley and Southampton during March, running separately in the evenings for up to 40 minutes at a time.
The twins, who are in year 9 at Gillotts School in Henley, liked to run in a field off Heathfield Avenue, where they live with their parents Olly and Henrietta and brother Will, 15.
