bank admits she was left in “stunned silence” when she realised just how big the job of redeveloping the Napier Hall is.
But she insists she wasn’t ready for what she claims she discovered when she entered the hall, with rotting walls, unsafe electrical wiring, damp, and unkempt toilets just some of the problems she encountered.Now, Maureen explained she isn’t fazed by the task at hand and revealed work has already begun to bring the building into the 21st century.
“However, it was not until we took possession of the keys on October 1 that we realised the enormity of the job ahead. However, with early estimates quoting around £300,000 to restore and upgrade the original building, together with the planned extension for OKFP’s HQ, Maureen explained she is committed to restoring the Napier Hall to its former glory, with funding applications submitted and several investors already secured and committed to the exciting project.
